  2. If you decide to paint your wood screen door, use a Primer first, wait until it dries, then sand the door with 100 grit sandpaper then add your coat(s) of paint.  Remember: All edges must be Sealed or Painted top and bottom.
  3. Replace screen once your wood screen door is dry.

Trimming Your Wood Screen Door:
