Bracket Stairway Design Basics - Stair Building

[rubo]

I used wood instead of brackets and after 15yrs still standing strong.I think its not the wood but how you mount it.Use heavy duty screws and predrill and I used 4 screws on each piece.Very solid

[financialsuccess]

So why wouldn’t you recommend wooden cleats?

Great videos! Do you have any thoughts on how to build deck stairways using solid stringers and composite (1 x 6) decking for treads?

[kalo]

One reason to use the wood block or metal bracket to support the tread is that 2 x 12s say in redwood are expensive. But you seem to use a 2 x 12 anyway. Does't make much sense from a cost point of view. Might as well just notch the stringer...

I would love to have the measurements and the math used to make the stringers themselves. looking to make a couple sets that are 3ft in total height.

A good reason why it's good to have closed stairs is to prevent very serious to fatal injuries!

Hi. I like your video. What is the size of the plate form and what is the stair opening?

[wesleybauer]

Did you use 2x12 or 2x10 for the actual step? I am having a hard time determining how far back or forward the step should be. Thank you in advance.

[carloslozano]

so, is it required to not have an open riser? Or what is the minimin open gap on the riser?

Sorry this video is 6 years old so probably won't get an answer, but I read state l stair stringers need to be 18 inches apart, or maybe 26 if wood is thicker. But I've seen stairs like this all my life and it doesn't seem to be an issue.

Is it okay to not follow that rule? Or nobody really cares? Just building stairs and trying to figure stuff out.

Also the gap question. I've always seen stairs with more than a 4 inch gap. Maybe it's not an issue on short stairs? Actually I see floating stairs and lots of stuff. What's the story there?

Hello. Could you tell me what type of wood you used and what the dimensions of the stringer and treads are? Thank you :-)

wood seems stronger than that piss thin bracket lol
