I want to tell you how to build a glass door cheap watch is $ 500 This article is based on experience and guides you step by step instructions.
Background:
My wife recently asked me to go buy a mosquito net at the door are part of our garden. We have four dogs, a love of nature, but we found it had come and go in the yard, reinforced by our dirtLiving room! We've also got a lot of flies, moths, etc. inside when you open the door.
Prerequisite:
I knew I needed a wooden door glass frame in the atmosphere of the house to the street game, even I have to look good and have a good understanding of the abuse of our dogs could survive it, to impose.
Material:
1 / I have a 32 "wide screen doors in natural wood with a black grille and the strengthening of the lower half (ideal for dogs), IMine Home Depot, and it was below $ 30
2 / Then I bought two black metal handles and a stylish set of three 1 / 2 "wide hinges.
3 / To complete the door, I bought a satin red and gray outer layer.
4 / I bought a farm economic screen door closes with two screws to secure the hook on the door automatically after opening. Env. $ 5
Materials amounted to about $ 60, all that remains to do nowcollect and doors.
I noticed that the vinyl-finished aluminum screen doors cost up to $ 300, and it seems not so much aesthetically.
Installation:
1 / The first step was to inflate the economy of screen mesh border and paint rather than the bare wood frame. I am the door of a gray primer and two outer layers of the red. It was magnificent!
2 / Prior to the screens of the reconstruction mesh, I measuredthree equidistant points along the spine and doors carved sections where the hinges should be made. This is easy with a 1 / 2 "wide chisel made. I cut trousers holes about 1 / 8 ", just deep enough to prevent the doors are flush with the frame being around the rear entrance of our house.
3 / I, the curtains (fitted and make sure that the proper way to discard!) And replaced two eyes before screwing the eyeFrames.
4 / two black handles are fitted to front and rear axles, which were mild to spread vertically to prevent the screw on the opposite side of the handle to resolve the issues.
5 / I hung the door and tried the door open and close freely. It's a good idea to mark with a pencil where the holes drilled to take the existing door hinge and then just before the drill bit smaller than the diameter of the hanger bolt. Then just line-up curtainsAnd the screw holes.
6 / I fitted the screen door closed metal hook with a screw in the door frame and another in the woods.
Results:
Completed – The project will cost about $ 60 and it took me about 4 hours to complete. We now have a beautiful door that will allow our dog, but not one that protects from all evil and error in the court where it belongs! Door looks great and our neighborsEveryone wondered where to find the one!
