How To Make A Patio Screen Door

A patio screen door is a great way to keep bugs and other pests out of your home while still allowing you to enjoy the fresh air. It is also a relatively inexpensive and easy project that can be completed in a few hours.

Here are the steps on how to make a patio screen door:

Materials:

1x4 pine boards (for the frame)
1x2 pine boards (for the crossbars)
Screen wire
Screen spline
Screws
Nails
Hammer
Screwdriver
Measuring tape
Level
Caulk gun
Caulk

Instructions:

1. Measure the opening of your door and add 2 inches to the height and width. This will be the size of your frame.

2. Cut the 1x4 pine boards to the length of the frame. Then, cut the 1x2 pine boards to the width of the frame.

3. Assemble the frame by attaching the 1x4 pine boards to the 1x2 pine boards with screws. Make sure the frame is square and level.

4. Cut the screen wire to the size of the frame. Then, attach the screen wire to the frame with screen spline. Be sure to stretch the screen wire taut so that it will not sag.

5. Install the patio screen door in the opening of your door. Secure the door in place with screws or nails.

6. Caulk around the edges of the door to seal any gaps. This will help to keep bugs and other pests out of your home.

Your patio screen door is now complete! Enjoy the fresh air without having to worry about bugs.
