Good Evening Everyone
Well, I let my rat brain take over again and now I sit here having to send out an apology.
I was wrong in sending out the note on the Birch Screen Door issue like I did, I let my frustration get the best of me.
I want to apologize for sending it like I did and I especially want to apologize to Bob B for doing it. I have no idea what situation he's in or what's going on in his life, I was not trying to embarrass him or belittle him here, I was just frustrated and vented in the wrong way.
I got messages from many of you stating how Bob has helped you on many other things and there is no doubt that he is very well respected.
Thanks to all of you that responded in trying to help me on the door issue and thanks to all of you that sent comments telling me that this was wrong.
I sincerely appreciate all of you and your input.

It happens Ray.
I just know I read here somewhere that what you are looking for is
available at a big box store. Someone here reported that and I wish I
had paid more attention.

Ray,
Just spent some time at Lowes looking at the trim for FRP (fiberglas panels) but none of the stock sizes match your profile sketch. They have a book for special orders but the book was not available for my review. Also looked at suspended ceiling fittings -- but again nothing in inventory matched.
Some auto door trim -- the type with the metal crimp vinyl covered edge and the attached round rubber insulation might be made to work.

Speaking of wood screen doors, I'm not sure if I told this story or not........I was telling my wife that I wanted to find and install a Birch screen door.
She said, "why would you want to install a birch door, that's wood, won't it warp" ? I sat there and laughed so hard.......then when I explained what a birch door was she smacked me ! It was a riot ! I still sit and chuckle about it.
Have a great day !!!

Ray,
Your wife is a lot smarter than me! I NEVER thought about a "Birch" door
being made of wood!
However, this has gotten me to thinking. I have seen very curvy lounge
chairs made out of laminated plywood.
I wonder if it would be possible to make a "mold" a bit wider than the door
that matched the curvature of the GMC and use it to form three 1/4" plywood
sheets in layers one glued on top of the next from which a screen door could
be cut?

Rob, Wood would be a good option. In the past boatbuilding life we did a
numerous "curvy" laminated screen doors and windows using 3mm baltic birch
plywood cut into 17mm strips and then using an aluminum jig and clamps did
some nice compound curves with the baltic birch plywood strips. Using epoxy,
the frames had remarkable strength. Very time consuming though. In looking
at the inside of the door frame you could almost wax the heck out of the
inside of the frame and use it as the template with a lots of little clamps
to hold the plywood strips. You would get an exact match and then just need
to relieve the sides for a really tight fit. That would be like a 6 large
cans of Fosters day mate!!
Thanks

The stuff at home depot, lowes, etc, is regular u-shaped paneling trim pieces for a regular door.
I have never seen the complicated molding required for the birch screen door there, and I spend
far too much time (and money) at such places...

I purchased the Birch Screen Door used, and they did send me all of the trim, but it was cracked and in bad shape, needed replacement.
Have a great day !!!
