A few weeks past, while in search of making a screen door without the use of a pocket jig; viola, I came across your video! Thank you so much for keeping it simple. I reinforced my door with flat metal brackets, and added tin roofing at the bottom to give it an industrial feel. My niece requested one! Just wanted to come back to say, 'thank you for this video!' Carry on!
Thank you for this easy to follow video. This is something that I can do also thank you for letting us/me know the errors you came across so at least I can avoid those.
there are spring loaded hinges that will close the door, I found mine at the .99 cents store, its been 5years and they haven't failed yet, easy to install.
I ended up having to buy a piece of decorative trimming (found in the molding department) because I made the door too narrow. When it'd close, it barely hit the inside edge of the door frame. When I measured, I took a little off because I figured the hinges would add to the width, but they didn't add as much as I thought. So instead of 31.5", it should have probably been 31.75" for a 32" doorway.
Great video Scott. You explained it well. What type of wood did you use for the door. Not sure what to ask for. I will buy so my grandson can build for me. Lolol
This is not how you build a screen door that will last. There are so many things wrong with the construction techniques. Don't waste your time building it this way.
Wayne Tjornhom: Keep it to yourself!!! Why don't you go tell Home Depot or Lowe's how to build theirs because theirs sure don't last & theirs was built the right way, supposedly!! This door is worth a try!! There is always someone that can do a better job but don't ever show "the right way"!!
Thanks for humbly sharing your mistakes. It's really helpful

Great example of a sturdy build that doesn’t require a Jig. Rly appreciate this!

Just finished building this very door. Thx for the video.

Thanks for that tip
Thank You for the video and information

Nice. Thanks for mentioning how much clearance you needed!

Thanks for the information hopefully one day i can use it to create a screen door.
Thank you!
Great video you just made me get off my butt and try it! Thanks have good day.
Looks OK!! :)
Your stiles should run the full height, and the rails run between.
Simple peto funcional buen trabajo

Great job. How much did the door end up costing? Janice
About $30 in parts.
Mitch Hedberg is that you?
thanks
Why mark a full line when you have a mitersaw?
You could've bought a speed square for $4 while you were picking up the hardware.
Thanks. enjoyed watching your kitty. Would you come over and build me one. Laughing!
Listening, until you said safety first
Great work friend! I actually just finished a screen door out of pallet wood. Maybe check it out?
You should visit woodprix website if you would like to make it by yourself I think.
Go to stodoys page if you want to learn how to build it yourself.
Are you kidding, this is the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen build
Stay away. This guy does not know what he's doing.

No, the home depot & Lowe's doors are made even worse than this.
