Updating a Standard Sliding Screen Anyone in the Greater Philadelphia Region wondering why we had a heat wave last week? It's my fault. I finally have a screen door that works and keeps out critters, so immediately we were unable to use it and had to turn on the AC! (Sorry about that). Here's the deal, we have a dog. (Need I say more?) Our sliding screen door was bent and busted, so I threw it out. I went to the home improvement store for a replacement, only to discover our door was not "Universal" in size. The replacement we ended up buying never fit properly and someone continued to plow through the bottom of it, and we ended up with what I call the "Redneck Doggie Door". Nice right? But we love him, so I had to solve the problem. Then I found this image on Pinterest (of course). I was so excited to try this! I bought the track, let it sit in the box for a year, then used it on the laundry room door, and still had the Redneck Doggie Door this Spring. :( So...one new track, one unfinished wood screen door, and a door molding kit later... I've got this... I originally intended to add the wood pieces to create the barn door look, but I needed to be reminded that this is a colonial style house and sometimes I just have to accept that. (sigh). It blends nicely from out here. Skill Level This was a one woman job. I would say it took minimal skills for this. The only power tool I used was a drill to attach the track to the house and some elbow grease. Cost The door was around 70 bucks at Lowe's, and I painted mine white I ordered the track from Amazon, it's now less than $50 and ships free with Prime.

So it cost about as much as a custom replacement screen, but this is way more interesting! ...and I taught this guy to speak to come in and out! Thanks for looking!
