How to Build a Set of Deck Stairs

Brought to you by a Journeyman Carpenter, I pack this video full of all the info and math you need to build a set of deck stairs OR a simple set of interior house stairs. I teach you all the elements to be aware of when adding different tread material and riser material so you are prepared for any situation. I throw some tricks on how to deal with uneven ground. Or at least check out the best and simplest jig to use on a 24" square, it has saved me countless hours.

Just stumbled back upon this video… I’ve been in business for four years now, but back then, THIS was the video that taught me stair math and how to cut stringers. I referred to it a couple times while doing my first set of stairs, and been off to the races ever since. Good stuff dawg, thanks!

Best video I've watched in the 1 week of researching these vids to please the insurance man for my back steps, Thank you for breaking it down so well!🍻

[noahschmartz]

Definitive is the word that comes to mind here . After watching many deck stair videos, this is surely one of the best.

I`m a 69 year old lady and has to do everything myself. I live in an old trailor and i subscribed to you and rang your bell. I have to put new steps out back and you helped me out alot .

Building a deck this weekend and between this video and your deck building video with your brother I've learnt alot. By far the best video I've seen. Very informative and very easy to understand and learn. Well done.

[mikeyboy]

Thank you sir. As you said :” …watch it again” and again and again- well worth it.

I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO AND THANK YOU FOR HOW YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY THE RISERS . I SEE YOU ARE A SOUTH PAW, LEFT HANDED WHICH MADE THE VIDEO EVEN MORE TO MY LIKING. GREAT WORK . THE STAIRS LOOK SO NICE WITH THE RISERS . THE RISERS LOOK LIKE 3/4 INCH MATERIAL . THATS WHAT I NEED INSTEAD OF USING THE TREAD MATERIAL 1’’ FOR THE RISERS . THANKS KODY

im building my first deck. Got it all framed out except for the stringers for the stairs. I still have to pour a pad for my landing. but im definitely using this video for reference when i get to my stringers. Really helped me understand the process behind it a bit more than i did before i watched this video.

Very well explained. Weekend warriors that buy premade stairs for various projects should view this video.

I'm building a set of stairs for my parents and your video will help them understand what I am doing. You have an excellent way of explaining why we do what we do. Thank you.

[salimbaasba]

[julioacevedo]

I'm currently building a pool deck for a friend and had a hard time figuring out the stairs situation. I came across your video/ I have to say it is the best video on how to install deck stairs. Explained it perfectly. Thanks and keep up the good job. Assume looking stairs btw.

[mqass]

You are by far one of the most break it down guys I've watched so far. Would be a pleasure to be mentored by you fam

[stevenpeterson]

[bengreen]

Thanks ... i have done these 15 yrs ago. But this was a great video and a few tricks i never knew.

[dustanhorst]

fantastic explanation. I am about to redo my deck stairs and your instructions finally made it "click". Thanks

[makatkplt]

Awesome. I bought my stringers prefab well before watching the video. I was more interested in the clearing and bracing. Thanks
