Yeah, stringers can be confusing. They are definitely better than the way I did it, but this is only a "temporary" structure.

I bought the plan, and just to let y'all know, price for all materials at Home Depot came to: $465.82. Still in the $400 price range even with today's prices!!

Codes are strict in my county. Everything has to be notched, and anchored below the frost line. Approved anchor's, hangers, brackets. No more than a 4" gap on rails or steps. It all drives up the price and time. But if the entire neighborhood wants to party on your deck at the same time it wont fall. Lol

@LastLeafStudioVideo

2 жыл бұрын

Stairs I measure the height of the pool deck in this case we will use 30. Divide 30 by 7 because 7 is the ideal step height. So 30 ÷ 7 = 4.28. You can't have .28 of a step so you will have 4 steps. Now you take 30 ÷ 4 and come up with 7.5. Your steps with be 7.5 tall. To find how far your steps stick out multiply the number of steps (4) by the width of your stair tread. If you have 8 inch stair treads your stairs will stick out 32 inches. Hope this makes sense.
