  • Today we're going over how we do box stairs. They're different than your typical stair stringers that you might know and love.

    Excellent information, well described. A stair tread 16" wide is very comfortable, my favorite.

    I like this idea, especially for elderly people who need low rise steps with wide treads. I think I might reconsider the steps I was about to build for my mother-in-law's place.

    Call me crazy but isn't "wide" the measurement from left to right and what you are calling "wide" should actually be refereed to as "depth" or "length" or "run" ? Am I wrong? BTW I think this the very best way to build these steps. Simple and solid. Good work!!

    Am ready to make boxes for stairs ( 7 f. long x 3 board composite 17 in.) Can I cut back on lumber by only using 10 inch blocking on where the treads will be, and 20 inch everywhere else ? Trex says to use close blocking for support. I will be making 4 boxes as you can see this would save a lot on cost.

    How do you connect each set of box frames together?

  • @carmfully
    @carmfully 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What is your take on box stairs with a mitered picture-frame for each tread (as per usual) but with the in-fill boards running perpendicular to the risers? Weird to explain what I'm trying to accomplish.....but I have a whole bunch of short off-cuts from my main decking composite boards and I have a few long pieces from the decking picture-frame (different color) left over. In order to not waste the little off-cuts and not have to buy more boards, I'm imagining box style stairs for the three steps I need. I would then picture-frame each step like is normally done with mitered corners, etc. But for the in-fill, I don't have any long pieces of main decking color left, just the offcuts, like I mentioned. So I want to just use the off-cuts running perpendicular to the steps.....ie as if the main decking continued out past the deck picture frame and spilled out onto each step. Not sure if that makes sense. I tried googling that look but cannot find anything similar. I'd appreciate any input. Thank you!

    Love these stairs, perfect for what i want to do. 6 1/2” risers with a long tread feels like your floating up them. At ground level would you put sleepers in or just a compacted base?

    Doc, how would you do the handrails for these steps? Would you do a gradual slope, or make straight horizontal rails that step down with each platform?

    I want to make single box stair, but instead of going out from the deck, going into the deck, to keep the steps off a paver walkway, and under a roof!!!
    How do you do the deck framing for that?

    Hey DR do you mind revealing the brand of those jackets you guys wear? Looks like awesome solution for sunny PNW weather. I assume it is water proof. Us craftsman in other parts of the country could benefit from it as well. Thanks in advance.
