You need to cut an area to the size of the door you would like. You could take that cut area, I see a lip on your skimmer tub, add something like foam etc to make it float. Put some pins at the bottom, a small tube glued on with a small rod in the tube with an end sticking out each end. Put those ends into a, hole or something of that sort so it will float up and down, with the water movement.

I hope that makes some sense.

Look at a store bought skimmer that might help.
