- www.homebuildingandrepairs.com Visit our website for more helpful videos on stair building, new home construction and house repairs. Here's another viewer requested video on how to build a small stairway with part measurements. Keep in mind that some types of weaker lumber might require additional structural support for this type of stairway, especially if they are going to be wider than 24 or 30 inches. You might need to install another frame like those built on the outside some where in the middle or spaced no more than 24 inches when using 2 x 6 treads.

Superb video! Just bought my first miter saw and I just finished cutting all the pieces. My dog thanks you SO MUCH!!
TomKe it completed.i like this and plywood on back ..thank u
Thank you for making this video. I used this as a guide and built a stairway for my photo studio. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic!
used this today easy strong
Thank for this simple yet sturdy design. I will try to use this for my new shed!
You are welcome!
Me top! How'd it work for you?
Hopefully this will work!! Im using this for my quinceanera as a prop
Just bought cedar 2x4s and red oak 1x6s. I’m going to make steps to help my aging chocolate lab get in bed without hurting her hips. Cut all the pieces yesterday, today is assembly day. Going to leave back and sides open so the cedar smell fills the room. Thank you for the video! Very clear and understandable
Please share your results. I'm doing same
Any suggestions for a rounded step? So not the usual rectangular steps, but more of a half circular step
Thank you! Going to make some stairs for my son that has hypotonia to practice and strengthen his legs!
😊😊😢😊😅😂😂❤😂😂❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤😅❤
😮❤😅❤❤❤
I would like to see the top to be like 3x3x so that when we step out onto the stairs from a camper, you are on a mini deck.
could I get frame measurements for a 4 step in this design
thanks
I have 2 concrete steps in my garage but they're too steep for my mom so I wanna build a 3 riser step on top of it with wood. Do you think it's doable?
The simple thanks
You're welcome 😊
Hey good u do one on how to make a 8 × 4 roof if u good
I have a 10" rise from my grarage floor to the doorway (36" wide doorway). Do you have any suggestions to make these steps. At the moments my parents and my chikldren have issues with the large step. Can I build shorter steps that make sense?
This is a great help for my urgent need for a two-step stairway for my dog door installation. Do you by chance have the video in a .pdf format, with diagrams printed? What a pain I am! Thanks for video - very helpful.
You're not a pain at all or the first to ask and I will be doing some videos on different designs with lumber measurements in the future.
If my total riser height is 45 inches how would my layout look like with the run
I’m replacing 2x two-step flights (interior split level home), and this looks ideal as a frame over which we’ll lay engineered floorboards. My treads are 900mm wide and 300mm deep, with the top of each step being 150mm above the next. My gut says I should put 1 or even 2 supporting L-shapes inside for support, as well as the 2 exterior ones. Does that make sense?
I’ll make the frame from 45x90 timber, and clad with 18mm plywood, so it’ll be super sturdy even before we add the floorboards. I just need to remember to allow for the floorboard thickness when I set my heights.
If you don't think this will work, use the supports you're suggesting.
I love your videos! I would like to know if you have any instructional video on how to make a wood overlay over a 3-step cement stairway in which the top step is too high for my elderly aunt to climb. I could share a photo if needed.
I made a few video that might help. th-cam.com/video/nEGULoHLElk/w-d-xo.html
Building a set of stairs for an outside storage building. Don't like the cinder blocks that are in place.
Thank you for the previous reply. I was given composite decking and would like to know if I can use it for the treads? I am only going to build a 2 (possibly 3) step stairway? For something that small, should the composite be strong enough without sagging?
Check with the manufacture of the decking for stair stringer spacing and joist spacing or on center spacing.
I would also put a corner bracket on the underside on each end...
I have a question related to sheathing layout. It is recommended to have an 1/8" gap between sheathing. Since sheathing is 4' x 8' and framing is typically spaced at 16" o.c. , at some point the 1/8" incremental gap will miss the 16" o.c. joist framing.... and also, even before the sheathing misses the joist, the layout will become offset to a point where the sheathing wouldn't break evenly along the center of the joist. How is this handled in the field?
You need to adjust the joist for the sheathing by adding 1/8 of an inch to the on center layout at some point and for every sheathing break.
Just downloaded this great vid. I’m gonna use it to build a stairway to a hot tub.
Thank you for making this!
Sound great.
That's exactly what I'm doing! I've never built stairs before but he makes it looks so easy - I've taken notes, screenshots, saved the video and am through the comments for additional suggestions to see if he added anything else.
Hope yours worked out well! Hoping mine does too! 😉
Just not sure what to do to underneath side to keep it off the concrete 🤷
How do we attach it to the house? Or is that not needed?😅
I know you mentioned it in the video but have you made plans for a 7 and 8 step version of this? Id like to build "stairs to nowhere" for a photoshoot and this would be perfect.
Not yet, sorry.
Do you not have to have the same height for each step to be the same for code? I think it’s within 3/8” for each riser? I could be wrong, I thought I saw you have one stair 5 1/2” and the others were 5”. .?? Thank you for the great visual video.
The bottom riser needs to be smaller to have equal riser heights, most of the time. Check the final measurements if I have them in the video and if should make sense, if not let me know.
I think (note: I am a hobbyist woodworker) that the height of the riser is complemented by the thickness of the tread, so the difference in the height of the bottom riser is different as there is no step tread below it, as such, because that would be the floor / ground it’s standing on.
Any ideas on how to keep these from sitting directly on the concrete? And maybe also moveable. Thought about locking casters but no way to really hide them.
I use a refrigerator dolly to move them and don't worry about the bottom boards, because they can usually be replaced easily if you use screws.
How do you do calculations on the height difference?
I have plenty of videos on calculating riser heights at our website.
Im using 1x6 and 1x4 s 5 steps 10’ 1/2 x about 7 in…Im gonna try to adapt the measures but its kind of hard…lol
What is the stair height of this set when complete when using these measurements?
Hi, I have a question. I’m looking to do that at my father's house. He is 72 and has a 3-step concrete. But his go sideways. So one side is completely open. But the other is closed off because it’s part of the house. The back door goes into the laundry room. So the fully open part would only have the one's side that u just talked about. But nothing for the wood to go into on the other side how would u make something like that? I was also thinking of bringing to landing out to make a little more room away from the side of the slab but then I know the post would have to be anchored to the concrete ground. I would like to make this where it’s removable because if have to. Because u won’t need a permit if it is not a permitted structure And could u make a list of materials from the wood of each thing to the size of screws and the dimensions so when watching ur able to screenshot the list to have for buying
I don't understand why a stairway like this won't work.
How wide can the steps be, with just the two supports? You are using dimensional for the steps here , can I assume you cannot use treads made out of 5/4 boards or composite Because they won’t be strong supported by fasteners going through the bottom of the risers?
I can't provide you with exact on center spacing, because different types of lumber can span farther. If you replace the 2x6 with a 3x12 you should be able to span at least 36 inches, but this also might depend on the lumber type and grade.
@@stairbuilding thanks. The manufacturers are telling me 9 inch on center. They cite the extra wear and bounce that steps take.
I have a problem with my stairs, i have no choice but to put my stairs at 24 inch width due to only having a 49 inch w and 69inch length with a 105 inch height if i remember correctly. Everyone i am trying to hire is saying they need to add space by cutting beyond and turning the stair width to 30-36 inches and i do not have the space at all to cut out anymore and i already bought and used a lot of resources as is. Is 24 inches fine width for stability especially when you have 0 choice. I have been working on this for abiut 6 months now and just want to finish it in 3 days.
Most building codes use a 36 inch minimum for stairs, but there are exceptions. You will need to ask your local building department to clarify the codes.
@@stairbuilding i did they said just the national codes is all they require, if i cut anymore width i am going into the path of the kitchen and if i cut anymore length i have to try and move the duct and i have a kitchen table on the other corner. This is a small house, before i started to do this it was the pre made spiral metal staircases with top of it half in the wall and about a ft drop at the bottom step. I ended up losing my footing and slipping down banging my knee hard
Can you do this if you stair max height is 8ft
If your local building code inspectors approve it, then I don't see why not.
Hi you think you can help me out with 4 stairs the hight needs to be 2ft . Would you please help me out with a dieahram? Thanks
The first step is 3.5 (2x4 on its side - which technically measures 1.5x3.5), second is 6.5 taller at 8.5 (vertical piece) + 1.5 (horizontal piece) = 10 total height, third is 6.5" taller at 15 (v) + 1.5 (h) = 16.5, so it seems like the fourth step would be 21.5 (v) +1.5 (h) = 23
I also need 4 - this was the math I came up with. But then that 3rd run needs to be an 11" piece, not a 10¼, as that would be for the run of stair 4. This would also change the length of the bottom horizontal board from 33.25" to 43.25". I'm just guessing since I have never done this and am just trying to DIY some spa stairs instead of paying $450 for some ugly fake wood ones at the store.
Someone feel free to correct me 🤷 I've never built anything
How much lumber is needed to build this step, for each peice of total needed
You can calculate the amount by adding all of the lengths of pieces.
What your the Measurement b for a four step
I don't think I have a four step example, but you can check at our website.
Thank you for the great tutorial. How come you don't have the risers go all the way down to the top of the 2x4 that tread sits on? That leaves a little square gap between the riser and the tread. Just asking because I have no clue about any of this, but am willing to try. Thank you.
You can, if it will work better for your project. I sometimes like to leave a gap here to allow for lumber shrinkage. For example if the one piece of lumber shrinks, it could put pressure on other components, causing them to lift and create problems.
For this exact design how many boards of each will I need to buy?
I don't have those numbers.
I would like to build these same stairs buy having a finished height of 14 inches.
I think I ll use 2x3s for base…
How much would you have charged for this Set-up of Steps?
$6,755
Any chance of metric?
Just convert it with google
Go make
