Dogs bent one side of the sliding screen door. The mobile guys say to repair (replace the one side and rescreen it) what I have will cost almost the same as building a completely new door, a new door is anywhere between 300 and 585.

Does anyone know where to get the frame material so I can replace it myself.

1 7/8 × 1/2

No, Lowes and HD do not have it

They'll just do it again.
Hammer and dolly into operation.
My door at the river looks the same, intoxication encounters. 😁
I have reshaped it a couple times already. This time I'm going to put the pet dealio on it so they see it.

Your mobile guy won’t sell you the material?

There's a lot of truth in the dogs will do it again. Those roll formed frames are Junk.
If you do replace it, go with an extruded frame.
Here's a DIY sample, 48 x 78....Fill in your own measurements.

That's actually a good price

Didn't think he was gonna call but the final mobile guy just called and we gave him the measurements and he quoted 275.00 for the pet grade extruded aluminum frame.

He's busy enough he couldn't call back until 6:30 and he's got great prices so I'm gonna try to help keep him busy. He services LA and Ventura.

Here is another alternative. They are a good quality product but you have to buy it through a distributor. Let me know if you need help finding one.

Bought new screen awhile ago, still haven't changed it. 😁 Probably gonna put that stupid mesh on the outside or some bright sticker or something on it at her eye level so.maybe the dumbass will see it. 😂😂

Out at the smoker one night and hear a big crash behind me, my dog and Buddy's 10 year old boy standing on my screen door, they both hit it at mach 10.

Told my friend it's old I'll grab a new one, apparently I haven't bought a screen door in a while.:mad:

Is it a custom size door? We have a universal slider replacement from home depot or lowes and its doing the job pretty well. Just get the one with wheels on the bottom. Only about $120 or so.

Also I will add it's the second one since moving in because the first replacement was mauled by my brother in laws dog the 1 day we had to watch him. Brother in law was on the hook for it. The actual metal screen doors with aluminum extruded frames probably the best you can get. True RDP status.
