Building stairs for your deck is often considered the most difficult part of the construction project.
Deck stair tread size.
A riser is the vertical measurement of each stair.
This document provides building code specifications for stair treads.
The stringer mount type refers to how the stringer will be attached to the upper landing or deck frame.
The total rise is a stairway s overall change in height from the landing pad to the top of the deck s decking.
From this point you can measure the exact stair height and determine the stringer and skirt length.

5 steps steel stair stringer black 7 1 2 in.
The tread is the horizontal section of each stair sometimes called the run.
They appear to have used the same type of stair tread that you d use for indoor stairs.
There s always one fewer tread than risers as you can see in fig.
Each tread is 1 board and the landings are multiples of the same material with no gaps in between each board.
Measure out that distance from the deck to find the exact landing point.
A stair rise is the vertical distance from the top of one tread to the top of the next tread.
It also has 2 inch x 6 inch risers or toe kicks on the back for a clean look.
Sketches photographs and examples of defects used in inspecting the step design on indoor or outdoor stairs and their treads including the requirements for a projecting stair tread nose and the tread nose shape and dimensions.
Since the tread depth b is a constant when using the automatic stair calculator the total run g will vary when you toggle between the two mount options.
Then multiply by 10 1 4 in the ideal tread width for two 2x6s to get the total run.
The total run is the overall horizontal distance traveled by the stringer.
Risers can either be enclosed or left open as in deck stairs or basement stairs.
To simplify the process we ve created this deck stair calculator to help you determine the correct measurements needed to carry out your project.
This is the surface that the user steps on.
This deck will have treads made of 5 4 inch x 6 inch decking planks two for each step making the run for each step the distance front to back about 11 inches.
Light and easy to manipulate this stair frame is quickly installed.
The board that encloses the back of the step is also called a riser.
A stair tread is the width or depth of a single stair run.
If you use the deck itself as the top riser as with this deck subtract one step.
Once the stair results have been calculated you can toggle between the standard and flush options to compare the differences.
Stair details refer to the standard requirements for each of the various components of a flight of stairs.
Includes 1 stair riser the easiest way to build a solid and the easiest way to build a solid and lasting staircase.
Having the right calculations before getting started can make the task a lot easier.
