Hey all you home menders! a stairway to heaven..actually, all stairs are heaven when you need to get somewhere tall. Dustin shows how to build stairs. A step by step guide to install new stairs at a back door. Install stair stringers with joist hangers and you are off to the races. Install treated treads for outdoor use and even add risers if needed. Dustin finished this one with a 2x4 handrail and post for code requirements...and you can do yours too.

Thanks, good video, tired of watching videos of people making stairs like they are trying to sell a million dollar home. To the point and low budget, I like.

@ShawnKirk007 2 жыл бұрын

I've watched a few deck stairs videos and yours is definitely the best. Quick, concise, no fluff. And your concrete method was great! No mixing... just add water, then the concrete, then a little more water. Others go way to in depth on mixing when it's not needed for Quikrete.

I agree 100%. I’m out of California and you would NOT BELIEVE the useless crap we have to add just to bring it to “CODE”, which is a bunch of crap! I am a student of architecture and construction (obviously they go hand in hand for most) and what you need to make a legit structure is how to brace the joints and there are literally hundreds of different ways than brackets you can do with the wood without hardware even! I’ve seen a wooden structure, NO SCREWS, hold up an 18 wheeler. It was Japanese builder who used a (what I thought) technique handed down by old builders. It was AMAZING! So yeah, thank you for the quick video. I watch them because they put me at ease. Idk why, they just do. Simple, straight to the point, no BS. LOVE IT! And handrails are a must... mainly because I’m a fatty. Lol!

Nice job! 👍 couple things about nails, for the nails through the hanger to ledger board you want to use 3 1/2" common nails (galvanized) and since you used double shear hangers you want to use 2 1/2" common nails for the diagonal ones through the stringer into ledger. The 1 1/2" joist hanger nails are for regular hangers where the nails go straight into the sides of the joists

Personally I despise seeing the joist hangers on finished things. In Arkansas it’s common to use just pressure blocks...or notch in a ledger board in compliance with your method. I do remember however that in Georgia pressure blocks were frowned upon greatly. And the Simpson strong tie company had a hanger for every situation under the sun....”EVERY 🙄!” I remember their catalog being quite ridiculously extensive. I wouldn’t be shocked a bit if they made them with a 30o -32o tilt just for that purpose.

I'm about to tackle this project and it'll be a first for me, so I have a few questions: 1) What should the stringers ideally be set on? (Ground/sidewalk edge?) 2) Do you need to have a gap between your boards for drainage? I saw another video where they mentioned that, but noticed that you didn't. What's best? 3) What should I use as a sealant/wood protector once everything is installed? Thank you!! Your video broke down the steps so easily!

@homemend Жыл бұрын

Hey EKG. Great questions, typically the stairs would have a landing may be a concrete pad or a deck, these were for the sale of a house and just needed some there, these were set on pavers. The boards create their own gap so you don’t really need to space them here. As far as treating it afterwards you can put some deck sealant on it or stain it but you have bought treated wood and it’s already prepared for the outside. I hope this helps thanks for commenting

Thanks for the great video. Would it be ok if the stairs land on the dirt in there or we need some kind of concrete slap. Would the ready concrete deck blocks good enough to hold the post thanks

Hey fares yes that would be awesome a simple paver would work. A concrete slab would definitely be better and more permanent however they’re are alternatives. I put these on some 12 x 12 pavers
