I see lots of folks talking about under-sized hinges, I'm more concerned about using dry wall to take the load

@bobguy6542 2 жыл бұрын

The load is transferred to the floor and the elevated floor. The drywall is just holding the contraption upright when its folded up.

Those drywall anchors are not rated anywhere close to the dynamic load of someone climbing stairs, especially since the stairs are loosely hinged and will transfer all kinds of angular momentum. Those anchors will wiggle loose. The first failure will be the 3/4" screws on the hinges torquing out of the plywood end grain though.

Youre obviously a smart guy, which confuses me why you would secure with drywall anchors. Legitimately

Absolutely terrible design. Those drywall anchors cannot withstand anything close to the dynamic load of a human climbing stairs. Those screws will not hold those hinges.

@thomaschristiejr265 2 жыл бұрын

The drywall will eventually fail as well. The small screws won’t last as long as drywall under this application. I believe the outside stringer could be mounted like a normal stair with the hinges on the inside corner. That would also guard the pistons holding it in the top position

@theyard6958 Жыл бұрын

Agreed. I think it would be rock solid if it had some construction adhesive on it. Or... just find the framing! lol🤭

My first thought too when I saw those dinky hinges. A 300+ lb person might collapse this thing on the first try. I'd use heavier hinges and use bolts where possible and longer screws.
