This was a great find for me. I discovered it while searching for a 36"x75" screen door. Its an odd size and I need to make it for my cabin. Already have the Kreg jig and now have a solution. Thanks Steve!
Thanks John! Hope your thumb is ok. lol Brian (GarageWoodworks) and I both have the thumbnail bruise thing going on. You can see them as they grow out in our videos. Too funny!
I've been avoiding this task for a couple years now because I didn't know where to begin. I really appreciate that you made this video. Especially with such clarity. Great job.
Very well-explained and accessible project! Your personality puts the viewer at ease and cuts down on any stress that us less-than-handy folk might have. Thanks!
Hi Ted! Thanks for watching! I agree...we have a great community thing going on. I like that everyone is so accessible too. You will find that woodworkers love to help others.
Excellent! Great functional and fun project. I had a friend build one one time and he used cedar that you get in teh home center. You know how wet that can be. Well over the summer with teh sun on it, the wood shrunk big time and all teh joints came loose and he had to re- do it. :) He was not too happy. Great project!
Thanks Chris! Yes I will be keeping an eye on it as it settles. I left the pocket holes open so I could tighten it up later. Hopefully it will last a few years. I bought the most straight and dry boards I could find. It will be interesting to see what it does in the July heat.
Steve Carmichael Yeah, I'm wondering how long yellow pine will last Nice job on the door though. I would have never thought of using the spline material in wood.
Very nice. I am getting ready to build a couple custom sized screen doors to enclose a small deck that i just built a roof over. Decided to check out RUclips for ideas. Yours is the only video I watched and I have no need to watch any more. Thanks for the ideas.
Thanks! Hard to believe this was 4 years ago. We just had our house painted, so I had to take the door off. It's in good shape for being 4 years old. It just needs fresh paint. The screen frames were stuck to the door, so I had to break them off so I could prep for painting. I may just buy aluminum frames, depending on how much they cost.
Steve Carmichael well the info was great. I have a Kreg jig but forgot about it even though I recently used it to build barn style door for the shop. I’m going to use rough cut pine cause I like it and varnish it. Finally found an outlet for marine spar varnish that meets the new lower voc requirements at diamond Vogel paints and they sell it in gallons.
Great build video Steve, You did an awesome job explaining every needed step from measuring to assembly. I also liked that you discussed cost so any of us considering a project like this know whether it's worth attempting or whether we should just buy prebuilt. I need a screen door from my house into my garage. I was looking to buy but after watching, I'm thinking about building my own. Regards, Bob
Thanks Bob! It's an easy project. I think the key is getting straight dry lumber, which I forgot to mention. I think I will add a caption about that. I was going to use 1" pressure treated deck boards but they were dripping wet at the store and I just knew they would warp.
Very nice job, I have 11 large windows to redo this summer and been thinking of different ways to do the screen and I think yours look good so I think I have a winner. Thanks for the video. Also I received a Kreg pocket jig a few days ago for my birthday.
Thanks! That's a lot of screens. You might want to reinforce the corners of the frames since the glued miters can break easily. I screwed them to the door so it wasn't a big deal if they were weak.
Thanks, but I will be making them just like your door. a frame to replace the storm window and screen, then the screens screwed to them, the same as your door.
WOW Steve. Nicely done. Your a lot better at rolling those splins in then I ever was. My luck was when I got to the last side the roller would slip and cut a nice slit in the screen and then I got to start over again. Charlie
If you make wood frames you might want to make them a little beefier or reinforce the corner miter joints. It worked fine for the door since I screwed the frame to it. The metal screen frame material and corner connectors they sell at Lowes can really get pricey if you have a lot to do, so making wood frames could be a money saver.
My husband just made me watch this since he just ordered the kreg jig machine,or whatever it is called. That was a big mistake for him. I need to cut this compliment to your abilities short as I need to work on my "honey do" list". Your wife is a very lucky woman to be married to such a talented carpenter!!
+Ben Brown Thank you! The kreg jig really comes in handy around the house. I also used it to make a new bottom section for our garage door, and some cabinets and tables too.
Excellent video and a great door Steve. Our door to the deck needs one too. The old storm door messed up years ago and it's an odd size. A screen door is what it needs. Thanks for the idea.
Very helpful. We were just contemplating doing this and I was curious if I could just build one myself. I appreciate that you included how you came to your measurements. Thanks!
Thanks Angie! If you need a custom size, building it yourself can save lots of money. If you can get the right size at HD or Lowes, it probably costs around the same just to buy one.
Thank's, always wondered if I could make one using my Kreg Jig, everything went just like it did in this video. It cost me less than it would in the store and made my own design. Thanks Again!!!
I love this! I've been dreaming of an old fashioned wood screen door and was debating buying one vs making one. You've inspired me to try making one! Great video, thank you!
Megan Barry Great, that's good to hear. The door is pretty straight forward. The wooden screen frame is a bit delicate until you get it screwed onto the door.
Steve, Thank You, I have been thinking of building a screen door since last summer and now I know how. Your video is a great tutorial. I'll have my screen door this summer. Many thanks !
Mice video. Well done. Kreg has some hole plugs that cover the screw holes. With summer coming up I was thinking about this project on my own to do list. Thanks.
Thanks! Yes, those measurements worked out well. If the door is too tight, you can always cut mortises for the hinges to increase the gap, or worst case, rip off a little of the frame to fit.
I really liked this video. I am just getting into woodworking, and as a former locksmith my goal is to make custom doors (and non kitchen cabinets) as a side income. My favorite ww videos are those with practical uses outside the wood shop, and I think you "nailed" this project. You should be proud of the job you did , I hope your wife was please and impressed with the job.
anoni81b4u Thanks! It was cheaper than buying the screen frame stuff. It is still holding up fine. I'm actually surprised I have had no issues with this door at all. Usually they warp or rot after a year in the weather.
Great video Steve. I'm building a "woman cave" for my wife, and I've been debating on how to do the screening. Wanted to stay away from using the screen tight system, but use the same concept of spline in groove. You just showed me how. Thanks!
+Bill Wright Awesome! The woman cave sounds interesting. The groove and spline works well, you just have to make sure you leave enough meat on the board so the spine doesn't split the wood.
another fantastic video. as I've said before, your videos are just fun. I find my self smiling through the entire thing and cracking up when you do your "ta-daaa" expressions. I love the idea. your design is brilliantly simple and now I find myself "needing" a screen door on my backdoor. better head to the home store ;-)
Thanks! You should build one. The doors at the store have the spline groove cut into the door frame. I already had my door built before I saw that though. Could save the step of building the screen frames.
Sakinah Chappelle Thank you! This door is still holding up fine. Usually the screen doors I made in the past warp and get to where they won't close right, but this one is still perfect.
Steve Carmichael do you have any tips on why this one hasn't warped? That's my concern in making one...I have a kreg jig and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the pocket holes and glue that helps a lot?
Selecting the right boards at the store is the key. I just made sure they were really straight and as dry as possible. Also, build the door as soon as you get the boards home. Don't buy them a day ahead of time and let them sit before you use them. Moving boards from an air conditioned store to a hot garage can cause warping. Other than that and painting it well, it's just luck.
Thanks Rodney! I try to do the right things as far as safety goes. Not only does it keep me safer than I used to be, but it wards off the safety patrol...win win!
I really loved how you sped up the film and just showed the major points of putting in the screws, etc. However, I would have liked it slowed down just a little so I could see how you clamped everything. Other than that, well done. The door looks great!
Brenda Patten Hi Brenda - Thanks for watching and commenting. I don't remember how I clamped everything. I do recall that the frames were hard to clamp...I think I used tape.
That was a good job! I know it wasn't your better half that was such a bad cook that all the neighborhood flies took up a collection and bought her a screen door. That'll put a smile on that fuzzy face!
It's holding up really well. I was afraid the sun would have warped it all out of shape by now but it's still as good as the day I put it up. I think using dry wood helped a lot.
Steve Carmichael, as I made it I realized replacing the screen would be easy. So far the only problem I've had is my fault. I didn't leave enough space on the latch side. we've had some spring like days here in Pennsylvania and the wood swelled. If there is a positive the threshold holds the door open a little and the swelling keeps it shut. which is good, no flys in the summer. loom forward to seeing your next projects. thanks again
I saw some doors online made from 3/4" so it will work. It may be a little flimsy for a larger door, but you could reinforce the corners with some decorative corner pieces. Deck boards are usually 1" but they were so wet at the store I didn't want to deal with warping.
This was a great find for me. I discovered it while searching for a 36"x75" screen door. Its an odd size and I need to make it for my cabin. Already have the Kreg jig and now have a solution. Thanks Steve!
Walt Donaldson Great! The door is holding up just fine and better than any previous door we've used.
What a great project Steve, and your videos just get better and better. A huge, swollen thumbs up!
Thanks John! Hope your thumb is ok. lol Brian (GarageWoodworks) and I both have the thumbnail bruise thing going on. You can see them as they grow out in our videos. Too funny!
You're pretty good with that drill!! Nice functional project Steve.
Thanks Jay! Pocket holes rule!
It's so cozy to look at woodworking projects, just a sense of inner piece and complete "zen" :D Great videos!
+rxwh Yep, I spend my free time watching all the other woodworking channels.
Great job Steve, a new screen door is on my list too. Thanks for the video.
Take care,
Carl
I've been avoiding this task for a couple years now because I didn't know where to begin. I really appreciate that you made this video. Especially with such clarity. Great job.
Very well-explained and accessible project! Your personality puts the viewer at ease and cuts down on any stress that us less-than-handy folk might have. Thanks!
In the process of building a screen for my garage. Your video is the first I've found that showed how to use spline to hold the screen on. Thank you!
Great! Glad that helped. The spline stuff works really well once you learn how to work with the way it tightens up the screen.
Nice work, Steve. Makes me rethink the idea of paying someone to screen in my patio. DIY-time!
you have a really nice workshop and door screen.
Thanks! It gets messy after a project like this but I do clean up before the next video.
The force is strong with this one. Great project, thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Super cool editing! Great video!
Just recently decided to pick up wood working and am so glad to find such an amazing circle or people on youtube also of help thanks
Hi Ted! Thanks for watching! I agree...we have a great community thing going on. I like that everyone is so accessible too. You will find that woodworkers love to help others.

Steve Carmichael Yeah, I'm wondering how long yellow pine will last Nice job on the door though. I would have never thought of using the spline material in wood.
Thanks for the tips. I especially like the fact that the door is so much more sturdy than what you might purchase for the money. Great job!
+Vicky Oakes Thank you Vicky! I just looked at the door and it's still in good shape. It's lasted longer than other doors I bought.
Thank you for this video!! Nobody has explained how to measure this simply.
Very nice. I am getting ready to build a couple custom sized screen doors to enclose a small deck that i just built a roof over. Decided to check out RUclips for ideas. Yours is the only video I watched and I have no need to watch any more. Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks Bob! It's an easy project. I think the key is getting straight dry lumber, which I forgot to mention. I think I will add a caption about that. I was going to use 1" pressure treated deck boards but they were dripping wet at the store and I just knew they would warp.
This was the easiest how-to project for a screen that I've seen. Thanks so much!
Thanks Melissa! The pocket hole jig makes it really easy.
Just what I was looking for!! Great video and instructions!! Thank you
Very nice job, I have 11 large windows to redo this summer and been thinking of different ways to do the screen and I think yours look good so I think I have a winner. Thanks for the video. Also I received a Kreg pocket jig a few days ago for my birthday.

Thanks, but I will be making them just like your door. a frame to replace the storm window and screen, then the screens screwed to them, the same as your door.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Screen door construction as well as the screen housing method! Building one for my vintage camper! Thanks!
I like the way you made the screens. Very creative steve
Thank you Jerry! It's still holding up ok, although I need to paint it again.
I really like the look of the Southern yellow pine. Wish I could get wood of that quality and appearance out here in the desert.
Hi Bruce! I did not realize Lowes sold it here in 1" thickness so I was surprised. I thought I was going to have to resaw 2x4's.
WOW Steve. Nicely done. Your a lot better at rolling those splins in then I ever was. My luck was when I got to the last side the roller would slip and cut a nice slit in the screen and then I got to start over again.
Charlie
Sweet project and video. I also feel like you are getting even better at these videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the compliment. I am trying to improve or try something new with each one. Good to hear!
Pretty cool. And your garage is so organized. Congrats. I ended up here cos I've just heard this new word "screen door" lol. Greetings from Brazil.
+Marlon Mendes Thank you Marlon. I don't show the messy sections. lol Nah, I do like to keep it clean.
Steve - great work and very clear video instructions. You make it look easy,especially the screen spline install.
great door, going to make one for the workshop. really enjoy your videos.
thanks for sharing.
Well done Steve, I'm getting ready to make screens for my windows and you just showed me an easier way to do it, Great job and thanks for sharing!

Excellent video and a great door Steve. Our door to the deck needs one too. The old storm door messed up years ago and it's an odd size. A screen door is what it needs. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks Bill! Get to work! lol
Nice job, I'll be sure to show this video to my husband. We've been trying to tackle a lot of projects around the house
Thanks Mrs. BK! Tell your husband to let me know if he has any questions. :)
Very helpful. We were just contemplating doing this and I was curious if I could just build one myself. I appreciate that you included how you came to your measurements. Thanks!

Carlos Paige Hi Carlos! It's awesome to know you made one too. That makes my week! Thanks for letting me know.
Great video! Best one I’ve found for this. I’m going to give it a try
Timely project and a good looking door.
Thanks Rick! Yes, we can actually use before it gets 98 degrees here. lol
This project is sweet! Very nice job!
Holly Bosinger Thanks Holly!
Awesome video look forward to seeing more!
well your video made it look easy. The instructions were awesome. Thinking of trying this project. Thanks
I love this! I've been dreaming of an old fashioned wood screen door and was debating buying one vs making one. You've inspired me to try making one! Great video, thank you!
Megan Barry Great, that's good to hear. The door is pretty straight forward. The wooden screen frame is a bit delicate until you get it screwed onto the door.
GREAT JOB I LIKE HOW YOU GAVE US MESSURMENTS WISH I HAD A SHOP LIKE YOURS I AM A FEMALE BUT I ENJOY THIS KIND OF HANDY MAKING STUFF THANKS 😊
Steve, Thank You, I have been thinking of building a screen door since last summer and now I know how. Your video is a great tutorial. I'll have my screen door this summer. Many thanks !
Thanks!!!
Mice video. Well done. Kreg has some hole plugs that cover the screw holes. With summer coming up I was thinking about this project on my own to do list. Thanks.
Excellent job.. I like that little spline kit thing... Great video, cheers
Thanks Adam! Yeah, I like that stuff too. It actually holds surprisingly well.
Great video and project Steve.
Thanks man!
Great video Steve. Thanks for including the rule of thumb calculations too!
Thanks! Yes, those measurements worked out well. If the door is too tight, you can always cut mortises for the hinges to increase the gap, or worst case, rip off a little of the frame to fit.
I appreciate the level of detail on little stuff like the dedos for the screen. and the funk music
Great job, Steve!
Thanks Bob!
You did good! What a beautiful screen door and a
great video. I'm inspired now. Thank you !!!
nice looking door. you make it look so easy.
I really liked this video. I am just getting into woodworking, and as a former locksmith my goal is to make custom doors (and non kitchen cabinets) as a side income.

anoni81b4u Thanks! It was cheaper than buying the screen frame stuff. It is still holding up fine. I'm actually surprised I have had no issues with this door at all. Usually they warp or rot after a year in the weather.
$35 for a custom door is pretty amazing. Keeping this video in my back pocket in case I ever need to do this.
Yes, much better deal than ordering a custom one. A country boy can survive! lol
Very nice job and a great instructional. Thanks!
John van Gurp Thanks!
Great build. You made it seem so simple. I have tons of scrap laying around. Might be time for some custom screens.
Thank you! It's basically a big picture frame. lol
Best video thus far!! Very thorough, thanks!
+dreamwolves6 Thank you! it was pretty easy to make and the door is still working fine after a couple of years.
Good job, and a great video Steve.
Take care
Mike
Thanks Mike!
Outstanding video. I get annoyed at music sometimes when I am trying to hear someone talk, however yours fit in perfect! Excellent job.
Thanks for noticing that! I try to pay close attention to the volume levels.
That was a good video , with step by step instructions . I love the door !
+Amie Novit Thank you Amie! It is still in good shape after a few changes in seasons.
great directions, good tips on measuring
thanks
+Mary Yohn Thanks Mary!
Nice job of editing!

Wow, thanks!!! I do this for fun and like to have a good time while woodworking, so good to hear it comes through on the videos.
Good looking door, great job. Thanks Steve.
Thanks Gary!
Great vid Steve! If I should ever need to build my own screen door, I now have your video to reference. Thanks!
Brett
+GreenArrows0705 That'll help keep the bugs out of the gas can guitar.
Getting ready to build one of those myself
Bravo Stiv, odličan posao, brzo ,stručno i efikasno. Hvala na videu, puno pozdrava. S'poštovanjem!
Hvala Dragan!
Nice work Steve! This may just give me the confidence to build one of these for my shop. Thanks!
Thanks! You should build one. The doors at the store have the spline groove cut into the door frame. I already had my door built before I saw that though. Could save the step of building the screen frames.
Cool, thanks for added advice Steve.
really NICE screen door!!
Thank you Mary! It is still holding up fine.
Nice job Steve.
Thanks Tim!
Nice work Steve
Thanks Jay!
Good video on this project that I am scheduled to do! Thank you.
Looks like you have some more painting to do around the frame, nice project.
Yes Wayne. lol I have lot's of painting to do on the whole house. Ugh. I'd rather make a wood sandwich. lol
Awesome video. Im going to try making a screen for my balcony door! Thanks!
Sakinah Chappelle Thank you! This door is still holding up fine. Usually the screen doors I made in the past warp and get to where they won't close right, but this one is still perfect.
Steve Carmichael do you have any tips on why this one hasn't warped? That's my concern in making one...I have a kreg jig and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the pocket holes and glue that helps a lot?

Well done bro glad to see ur big on safety enjoyed ur video and loved the music
Thanks Rodney! I try to do the right things as far as safety goes. Not only does it keep me safer than I used to be, but it wards off the safety patrol...win win!
Excellent video and a project I need to do as well! Thank you!
Anita E Thanks! It was warm enough to open our door today and the screen door still looks and works great.
I really loved how you sped up the film and just showed the major points of putting in the screws, etc. However, I would have liked it slowed down just a little so I could see how you clamped everything. Other than that, well done. The door looks great!
Brenda Patten Hi Brenda - Thanks for watching and commenting. I don't remember how I clamped everything. I do recall that the frames were hard to clamp...I think I used tape.
That's good work!
Nice video also the music.
I need building one door like yours.
Thanks for this amazing video.
Miguel Mazariegos Thank you Miguel! The door is holding up really well to the hot GA weather.
Great project! You give me great inspiration to tackle projects I otherwise would have avoided, thanks for the videos. :)
That was a good job! I know it wasn't your better half that was such a bad cook that all the neighborhood flies took up a collection and bought her a screen door. That'll put a smile on that fuzzy face!
+Lewie McNeely Ha ha! You can tell by looking at me that my wife is a great cook. lol
If you could see me it'd be 2 of us alike. Mine is too. That's why I said what I said. Us poor starving younguns!!
You need to upload your picture. :p
You might live in Hotlanta but as far as looking at me, you might better keep on leading a sheltered life!
Thanks Steve. Great project.
Thank you very much!
Looks like I'll be building one for my shop this weekend. The gnats are out in groves.
It's holding up really well. I was afraid the sun would have warped it all out of shape by now but it's still as good as the day I put it up. I think using dry wood helped a lot.
Steve Carmichael I have a lot of red oak that I got from our local cabinet shop. I'm thinking that should hold up well.
That should work nicely.
Good choice on making the wooden screen frames they seem more appropriate than the aluminum ones.......catchy music too!
Thank you very much sir!
Drilling is synchronized to the music, nice touch!
Thanks, that took a lot of editing but I liked the results.
Thank you for showing how to make a homemade screen door.
John Rhodes Hi John! You are welcome! This screen door is still holding up well.
thanks for the video. tried it myself today (2/20/17). looks, fits and works great.
Thanks! I just replaced the screen at the bottom and the door has held up well.
Steve Carmichael, as I made it I realized replacing the screen would be easy. So far the only problem I've had is my fault. I didn't leave enough space on the latch side. we've had some spring like days here in Pennsylvania and the wood swelled. If there is a positive the threshold holds the door open a little and the swelling keeps it shut. which is good, no flys in the summer. loom forward to seeing your next projects. thanks again
It looks great
Great job! I think I'll try making one of these this summer.
Thanks Mark! Don't wait until it gets too hot! lol
Good ideas, great video. You're a hoot!
"scratch off one thing, and add three more" quote of the day!
Yep, story of my life. It's always something.
Practical, useful information.
I also like how you timed the screwing sounds to the music! That must have taken some editing time.
Thanks Ron! Yes, that was kind of tedious and took longer than I thought it would.
That was a great video. Now I know how to measure for mine. Always thoughtI could build one. With your help it's gonna happen.
Thanks Frank!
Question, if there has never been a screen door, do I need to use 1" thick wood or is 3/4" ok to use?
I saw some doors online made from 3/4" so it will work. It may be a little flimsy for a larger door, but you could reinforce the corners with some decorative corner pieces. Deck boards are usually 1" but they were so wet at the store I didn't want to deal with warping.
Great job bro
Great video Steve. Thanks
Thanks for watching Mark!
