Building a heavy duty door screen from scratch

[Psyclist]

Hi all,

I have a doorway measuring 1200x2300 for which I need to build a screen door.

The door isn't used that much but when it is used is used for carrying heavy goods in and out so it needs to be sturdy enough that I can hook it back out of the way and it isn't going to fall to bits within minutes.

Due to the width of the door I'm struggling to find anyone who supplies the mesh in big enough pieces to just do it in one go, so I'm now thinking the best idea might be to try and get hold of a reasonably nice glass panel door, remove the glass from it and replace the glass with the mesh.

Has anyone else ever done anything like this or does anyone else have any better suggestions?

Cheers

Kris

Define 'door screen'.
Without a clear question cannot give a clear answer.

We need it for keeping flies out of the kitchen.
