Figuring the rise and run of stairs can be as complicated as 1, 2, 3 On a main stair, the maximum rise should be no more than 8 1/4 inches and the minimum run should be no less than 9 inches. To determine how many steps, or treads, you need, measure from the top of the finished floor on the lower level to the top of the finished floor on the upper level.

Designing Stairs And Laying Out Stair Stringers Note that the number of risers is not necessarily the same as the number of steps. You always get one free riser. Suppose a house has one room that is 7 inches lower than the next room, you don't need any stairs... you just have a step down to the next platform.

How to Build Stairs in 3 Easy Steps Step 3: Installing Treads and Risers. Cut the risers to length and fasten them to the stringers with 2 1/2-in. trim-head decking screws. Note that we cut the risers and treads to overhang the outer stringer by 1 1/4 in.

Designing Stairs And Laying Out Stair Stringers If a certain riser height is preferred (say 6 inches), then divide the total run by the preferred riser height. Or... use the riser height of the pre-cut stair treads, otherwise use a good starting number like 7 inches. This gives the number of risers (steps) needed. Let's use an example of 27 inch total rise. 27 divided by 6 gives us 4½ steps.

How to Attach Stair Treads How to Attach Stair Treads. Stair treads are an integral part of a staircase. If the stair treads are installed incorrectly the staircase will be dangerous to use. Unlevel stair treads can cause you to lose your balance and fall. Loose stair treads can slip while under load and cause serious injury.

- Rhoda, this is absolutely the best tutorial I have seen to date on how to put new treads and risers in on stairs. Ripping up our yucky carpeted stairs and replacing them with treads and risers is at the top of the list for us. Great idea to paint them all first, and let them cure! I can’t believe your dad can help you with all this.

Forming Concrete Steps When forming between walls or other flat surfaces (such as plywood) where you will be able to mark riser locations, positioning risers is easy. Set riser boards to the marks and fasten them to the walls or side boards. If steps are longer than 4 feet, install stringers to support risers and keep stair lines straight. Stringers should support both the top and bottom of each riser board (refer to the diagram). Joe Fettig, owner of Fettig Concrete, Newberg, Ore., uses turnbuckles, which are available at construction supply stores.

How to Build StairsâA DIY Guide This code states that you may have a maximum riser height of 7 3/4 inches and tread run of no less than 10 inches. Arke stairs has spiral and modular stair kits for the do-it-yourselfer.First determine the size of your stairwell, making sure to allow for the proper headroom to accommodate the stairs.nowing the number of risers tells you the number of treads — 15 (the sixteenth riser will be positioned approaching the upper floor with no tread on top). The run of the stair will then be 15 treads at 10 inches per tread, or 150 inches of total run.

Designing Stairs And Laying Out Stair Stringers Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8 for all the other treads. In other words, now that the first riser outer surface has been determined, the tread width can be laid out in front: This gives us the location of the front edge of the second tread. Back off the nose overhang to get the outer surface of the next riser.

- The height of stair risers should be 220 mm (8 11/16 inches) or less. Risers must be of uniform height, with a variation of 9 mm (3/8 inch) or less. Open risers are permitted if they are 10 cm (4 inches) high or less.

How to Install a Precut Deck Stair Stringer How to Install a Precut Deck Stair Stringer. Use deck boards that match the deck as treads for the stairs. Typical deck stairs consist of wooden treads attached to stringers. The stairs may be installed between two levels of a deck or from one edge of a deck and a concrete stoop at the lower end.

What Is the Standard Size of a Stair Step? Another rule of thumb for riser and tread design is that the sum of the two dimensions be between 17 and 17 and one-half inches. If a riser is seven inches high the tread depth should be no more than 10 and one-half inches deep. These dimensions also result in a safe pitch angle of 34 degrees.

How to Install New Stair Treads and Railings Measure each tread and cut it to size then install it using 2-1/4 trim screws. Start at the bottom and work your way up the steps so that you can add extra screws into treads from the back of the riser above it. Space the holes on the treads evenly since the wood filler will be visible after the steps are finished.

How To Replace Stair Treads 1 Measure the stair treads and cut them one at a time. 2  Dry fit them first to make sure they fit precisely against both the stringers and the riser. 3  Just as in fitting the riser, you may have to scribe the tread and cut it to fit the stringers at both ends.

How To Build A Deck - Stairs & Steps The total rise is a stairway’s overall change in height, from the landing pad to the top of the deck’s decking. Now, some common code requirements, along with our recommendations: - The stair’s treads should be at least 36 inches wide. We think stairs should be at least 48 inches wide, so they don’t feel cramped. - The maximum allowable unit rise is 7 3/4 inches, and the minimum unit rise is 4 inches. For recommendations on rise-run combos, see the tip. - The difference between a stair’s longest and shortest riser height or stair depth should be no more than 3/8 inch. This is pretty strict, so take the time to plan your stringers carefully. - An open stringer should have notches that are not too deep, or the stringer will be weak.

Stairways 1 In this example the first stair riser is the continuation of the base course of the retaining wall that the stairs are being built into.  Each stair riser will need a minimum of 6 in. (150 mm) of base material under it that extends a minimum of 6 in. (150 mm) behind the retaining wall block.

- Then I cut and glue shims to true the rough treads parallel to the line. Next, I consider the walk line and the handrail. If a newel post is going to land on the bottom tread, I’ll add blocking to anchor it. I typically prefer the tread nosing on solid-riser stairs to project by 1 1 ∕4 inches.

- Measure the height of the area where you will install the stairs. This is also called the total rise. If you don’t plan to make the top step level with the area where the stairs begin (ex. deck, doorstop, etc.), be sure to account for this gap in your measurement.
