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.

Tread and Rise Combinations Chart It’s important to have the right ratio of tread to rise to make going up and down safe and easy. In general, the smaller the rise, the bigger the tread. For the most part you should choose what’s comfortable for you but usually outdoor steps have a rise of 5 1/2 to 7 inches and a tread of 12 to 18 inches.ou’ll find the tread width in the column on the left and the rise height in the column on the right. You’ll notice an 18 inch tread can have either a 4 or 4 1/2 inch rise — each fits the equation so the choice is up to you.

Residential Stair Design â Guidelines, Criteria and Dimensions by Sean O'Hara on. I received a question about stair width from one of our clients and thought it made sense to clarify the typical stair design rules for houses. These are the rules that are in the 2006 International Residential Code. Stairways have to be at least 36″ clear width above the handrail height.Handrails can’t project more than 4.5″ into each side. You need at least 80″ of head height throughout the stair. The maximum height of a riser is 7.75″ and the treads have to be at least 10″ deep.Treads also need to be a minimum of 4″ tall.tairways have to be at least 36″ clear width above the handrail height.

Building and Installing Deck Stairs I divide that number by 7 3/4 inches (the maximum permitted riser height) and round the answer to the next highest integer to determine the number of risers I'll need. For example, a total estimated rise of 52 1/2 inches divided by 7 3/4 inches equals 6.77, which rounds up to seven risers.
