Easy, Inexpensive Doggy Door in a Screen Door

Step 3Making the Support and Opening

Making the Support and Opening
Drill holes where you marked in the last step with your 3/8" bit.

Put the bar across, lining up with the drilled holes, and use one rivet and one washer on each side to rivet the bar in place.

Okay, screen is held in place with a little round cord pressed into a channel on the side.  If you pull up the cord, you can pull the screen out.  You want the edges and bottom below the support to be loose, all the way to the bottom of the support.

Cut most of the screen off neatly.  Leave about 4" to wrap around the bar.

Fold the bottom edge of the screen around the bar, trying to make sure the part above the bar is taut.  You may wish to use spring clamps or other means to hold the screen until things get attached.

You'll want to tuck the cord back in so it's nice and tidy, even though the bottom isn't securing screen any more.
