Diy Screen Door With Dog Door. Position the door so that the location of your pet door is clear of the sawhorses and the interior side is facing up. When you have the measurement of the animal you can add several inches to the perimeter.
With the weather getting warmer, and a new puppy in the house, we thought it would be nice to add a screen door to our back porch. Place the foam strips around the wood. Once you’ve removed all three pins, carefully open the door and lift it off the hinges.
Close the door and secure with a lock.
The two outer rails are also cut from 1x4s, this time at 36″ while the middle rail is cut from a 1×3 at 36″ in length. Mount the pet door into the cut wood, as directed by the instructions. Installing a screen door allows a delightful cross breeze through the whole house without the worry of insects invading your living space. Enjoy the cool breeze coming through your diy screen door!
