Rollup Screen Door – A screen door is a great way to not only allow some fresh air and sunshine to your home, but also to keep insects and other pests outside at the same time. By using a screen door, you also have the ability to maintain your home enclosed, while allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you only want to allow a bit of fresh air in. Even though you can purchase display doors for your home, they are actually fairly straightforward to make, requiring only a few tools and supplies, using simple building techniques. Screen doors can be very simple in design, or can be elaborate, depending on your needs and building skills.

Supplies you’ll need, you’ll require some thin wood stock to use for your display door structure, a hardware frame for the doorway itself, and display meshing, together with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. Some basic tools like a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, staple gun and knobs will be needed.

Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood stock is usually used when constructing a screen door, normally at a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried timber to prevent future timber shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the doorway you need to construct, and cut on the vertical and horizontal pieces to match. While constructing the doorway, it can help to clamp the door pieces to a work table. To produce the corner joins, as well as when adding the center horizontal reinforcement piece, you will need to take off half of the thickness of one piece of timber at the place where they will intersect with a saw, so the overall finished thickness of this joint will be equal to that of a single piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber support pieces together, and then clamp and allow to dry completely.

Adding the Screen to the Door, Putting the doorway flat on the work table, measure the overall opening and cut a piece of display material into the proper dimensions, leaving a few inches around the edges to make setup easier, which is trimmed later. Lay the display over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the top of the frame, pulling it tightly towards the bottom of the doorway. Be certain to pull on the display tightly from the horizontal directions as well, keeping in mind that display tends to elongate over time. The display can be stapled directly to the doorway, as the principles will be covered by molding which will be placed around the border of this display. After the display was stapled firmly into position, trim the display and cover the edges with all the display molding.

Finishing the Job, Once the doorway itself was built, you can set up the door frame , and also attach the new screen door into the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door into the frame with spring hinges so the door will close automatically.
