"Little decorative side pieces" are called skirt boards. Good visual treatise on stair building. One point you skipped and it's kind of a big one is the thickness of the riser board is deleted from the top tread cut. I like the pattern you made for marking the rise and run. 40 years in Carpentry and I've never done it that way! You know what they say, A good student never stops learning!

@klmbuilders5385 Жыл бұрын

@@carlstrohm3785 Typically the riser boards go on first in which case you would deduct the thickness of the riser from the top tread cut. Example: If a 3/4 board is used for a riser then 3/4 would be taken off the top of the stringer where it attaches to the deck band. When the riser is installed the tread cut becomes the same length as the remaining tread cuts. If the risers are installed after the treads then no stringer modification would be necessary but I would make the tread cuts shorter so I still have a tread overhang. Make sense?

when you cut into PT lumber you remove the treatment. You should go over all the cuts with an endcut product to reseal. I imagine this build is probably finished at this point but if you can go back over any cut ends it will make the project last longer. The construction is solid.

@lowellmccormick6991 Жыл бұрын

I've been drawing stairs for fabrication shops since 1978. I give you an A+ for those stairs. Had I drawn these stairs, the only thing I would have done differently would have been to make the 2x4 spacers at the top a continuous piece that would have run from out to out of the outside stringers and notched the underside of the stringers to rest on top of that nailer. But all the stairs I draw (mostly steel) are for public areas and have to be designed for 50 people or so dancing on it them during a New Year's Eve party (worst case scenario). Your stairs are overengineered (a good thing) and will last a lifetime or more. Over the years I have noticed that not all pressure treated lumber is equal. I've seen decks built with Yellowwood from a box store (my AC deck) and after 5 years rot away. We have a local lumber yard that kiln dries the lumber, pressure treats it and then kiln dries it again. It's 75% more expensive but it's dry and very stable. And it lasts. The stinger covers make a great base for handrail posts. I love that worm drive Skillsaw.

@jameshaulenbeek5931 Жыл бұрын

I definitely agree with the added 2×4 at the top - it makes it far more stable. I wonder if you're in the same area I am, as I too have a local lumber yard that does that with PT lumber. They use clear grade for the 5/4 decking and also make some beautiful hollow columns from the same lumber.

I agree on the ledger up top, it gives the stringers a bearing surface instead of relying on the shear strength of the screws. Also, all of the stringers should be notched at the bottom to allow the toe plate to run continuously through all of them. Another big thing to consider when building exterior wood stairs or decks is rot prevention. It's best practice to install a moisture barrier or an air gap anywhere the wood contacts another surface (ie wood to concrete, wood to wood, etc). That alone can make the difference between a 5 year build and a 30 year build!

The only thing that I would do differently is for the bottom thrust board, I would definitely use 2x6 - 2x8 pressure treated or redwood with cut a 2x6 or 2x8 notch on the bottom of all 3 stringers as they set on the bottom landing. Then cut the rise on the bottom by 1/2" so that the stringers are not touching the concrete.

Looks great. A couple tips: -The decorative end boards are commonly called “skirts.” -While not necessary, it’s often a better look to nail/screw from the inside of the tread so that the head doesn’t show on the skirt. -The cuts should be treated with copper green, or another type of wood preservative. Makes the PT last significantly longer. -Lastly, the stuff used to treat spf is really bad for you. I try like hell to cut off my foot so the dust settles to the ground as quickly as possible. And by “cut off my foot,” I’m saying that I drop the board on my toes and then bring one edge up. That way, the weight of the saw will react with gravity, and give you a really nice cut.

That was hilarious watching you make the stair jig. I do the exact same thing. I just recently saw for the first time someone else use a step cutout for their pattern. I gave them a tip of adding a stop to make itveasier. I prefer this method because when you run into rounded corners or knot holes or board wane untrimmed or missing areas in the lumber where bark once was or is. Having the full slope spanned with a stop leaves no question that your flush with the edge. Thanks for validating that there's at least a few out there who do it this way. I have worked alone for many years and have had to develop my own methods to produce in a timely fashion while still retaining quality. I see a lot of these tip and trick guys online have a lot of useless tips that really are more for producing content over giving valuable advice. I look forward to seeing you continue do it the right way. Thanks!
