If you're going to sandwich the HC between two 2x4's screwed together...3/8" or 1/2" arrow staples are the way to go.Ok, dog shows are over now back to coop building. Kind of rainy yucky today so I thought I would attempt to build the people door to the run in the garage. But then I realized I have no idea how to make a door. So I dont have a kreg jig to countersink the screws so can I just toenail the joints, should I do 45 mitre cuts for the corners or should I just make square corners?
I bought 1x3 strapping for the screen doors because it was inexpensive and lightweight. They had better top choice 1x3 but is was 5 times the price. Will this be ok?
Also a question about the hardware cloth. My intention was to attach it to the wood frame using screw/washer method then have it sandwiched between another piece of lumber. This was very expensive and I could not find a good screw/washer combination last night at lowes with two employees trying to help me so I bought a big box of plastic cap roofing nails. Will this work? Could I just use staples or U nails if Im going to sandwich the cloth between two pieces of lumber? I want it to be safe for my chickens so I'd rather do it right initially.
Lots of questions today....thank you in advance for your continued help.
I'd not use 1x material for a door, not stiff enough.
What do your Wichita plans call for?
