What is G Tape? Is it the same as a G String?

[chrisreibold]

When you add the 2x8 to the front of each step, doesn't that increase the depth of the cut into the stringer? There has to be atlest 5" of material left of the 2x12 correct?

What is the measuring of the rise and the run? Please.

[Mr.J]

I’m curious about the long term of this wrapping joists and framing with tape stuff

[glendavis]

Aren’t the riser with step installed not to exceed 7.5 inches?

[mtavsen]

what if its all made off 3x9's? 😅 steps and stringers

[tablatronix]

needs more butyl! lol. Solid risers seems like it would prevent ventilation

How long you expect those stairs to last. Assuming your putting composite boards on top, otherwise planks will not last as long as those joists you prepared will. Also the bottom plate is touching surface. You water will shed down. But bottom plate eats it up. Another point moisture trapped wood is worst. You over do it is worse than just doing tops

😂 enough tape to have kept the titanic from sinking.

If it can't dry, it will die, though you think overkill on the tape is a good thing. At a certain point, it becomes a negative. You are at that point

Stairs are going to outlast the house!

G tape. There is no need to use treaded wood then.

A couple beads of roofers caulk is a lot cheaper than tape & works just as well if not better. 🙏❤😊

G tape everything.., . That way when water finds a way in(screw holes) the tape will trap it and rot the wood faster. Smart! Engineered obsolescence
