Bug Screen Door – A screen door is a superb way to not just allow some fresh air and sun to your house, but also to keep insects and other pests outside at the exact same time. By using a screen door, you also have the capacity to maintain your house enclosed, while allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you only need to allow a little bit of atmosphere in. Although you can purchase screen doors for your house, they are actually fairly simple to make, requiring just a few supplies and tools, using simple building techniques. Screen doors can be either very simple in design, or can be elaborate, based upon your needs and building skills.

Supplies you’ll need, You will need some thin wood stock to use for your screen door structure, a hardware frame for the door itself, and screen meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. You will also need paint brushes, glue brushes, varnish and one inch nails.

Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood stock is usually used when building a screen door, generally at a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the door you want to construct, and cut the horizontal and vertical pieces to fit. While constructing the door, it can help to clamp the door pieces to a work table. To make the corner combines, as well as when adding the center horizontal reinforcement piece, you will want to take off half of the depth of a single piece of timber at the place where they will match a saw, so the general finished thickness of the joint will probably be equivalent to that of one piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber service pieces together, and then clamp and allow to dry thoroughly. When the glue joints are completely dry, you can sand the door, and employ a stain and clear finish, or paint the door if needed.

Adding the Screen to the Door, Laying the door flat on the work table, measure the general opening and cut a piece of screen material into the appropriate dimensions, leaving a few inches around the edges to make installation simpler, which will be trimmed later. Lay the screen over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the top of the frame, pulling it tightly towards the bottom of the door. Make sure that you pull the screen tightly in the horizontal directions too, keeping in mind that screen will stretch over time. The screen can be stapled directly to the door, as the staples will be dealt with by molding that will be placed around the border of the screen. After the screen has been stapled securely into position, trim the screen and cover the edges with the screen molding.

Finishing the Job, when the door itself has been built, you can set up the door frame , and then attach the new screen door into the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door into the frame using spring hinges so the door will shut mechanically.
