Fortunately today if you\u2019re building a deck and only need a few steps you can buy pre-manufactured stringers at your local home improvement center to simplify your work. Stringers are the pieces of wood associated with a wooden staircase that the stair treads attach to, and can be a bit tricky to cut out if you\u2019ve never done them before. In the ensuing paragraphs in this article, however, I\u2019ll explain the basic concepts of building your own stair stringers for a deck.<\/p>\n<p>The tools required in building wood stairs include: framing square, circular saw, measuring tape, level, handsaw, masking tape and a pencil.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For material you\u2019ll need three 2\u201dx12\u201d treated boards for constructing the actual stringers. The length of them will depend upon the height of the required wooden staircase, however most likely you\u2019ll need 10 footers. These boards should be free of all knots and cracks otherwise you\u2019ll end up scrapping the lumber. You\u2019ll also need a couple of 2x4s and the actual stair tread lumber. Also, you\u2019ll need a piece of plywood and 3-1\/2\u201d framing nails and screws to assemble the wood stairs.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in building wood stairs is finding the overall rise. To do this you\u2019ll need to measure the distance between the top of the deck and the ground. It\u2019s highly recommended to install a concrete pad for the deck stairs to rest on, however the placement is contingent upon the length of the staircase run. If you do install a concrete pad, measure the height from the top of the deck to the top of the concrete pad to get the overall rise.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">Next you need to determine the overall run of the staircase. To do this, however, you first need to determine how many steps will be required. To calculate the number of steps required, divide the overall rise by 7-1\/4\u201d. This is the common step height of a step. Round up your calculation to determine the amount of steps (risers) required. Note that there is always 1 less tread than step (riser).<\/p>\n<p>The standard step depth (width) is 10 inches. Multiply 10 inches by the number of steps required (remember one less than the number of risers).<\/p>\n<p>What you calculate is the overall run of the wood stairs. You can also use this measurement to locate the center point of your concrete pad.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8159\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Squeaky_Stairs_1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"How to Stop Squeaky Stairs\" width=\"271\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Squeaky_Stairs_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Squeaky_Stairs_1.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Now go back and calculate the exact rise for each step. To do this divide the overall rise by the number of risers calculated. Round up to the nearest 1\/8th of an inch to determine the riser height for each riser.<\/p>\n<p>Next it\u2019s time to mark up the long 2&#215;12 boards to effectively layout your stringers. This is where your framing square comes into use. The long leg of the framing square is used for the step leg and the short leg of the square is used for the riser leg. Also, when tracing out your stringers use only the outside numbers on your framing square. Apply masking tape to the framing square at the locations for the width of your riser and tread. This will make the actual tracing out of the stringer go more quickly.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">With one of the 2x12s placed on a workbench, place the long leg of your square towards the end of the board and line up your masking tape marks with the edge of the board facing you. Once the square is in position, mark the outer edge with your pencil. Continue to mark the board for the required number of steps, moving the square up the board as you go.<\/p>\n<p>With the first stringer marked, cut it out using your circular saw and hand saw. Make sure to cut on the waste side of the line. When you near the corners, between the riser and tread lines, use your hand saw to make clean cuts.<\/p>\n<p>After cutting out the first stringer, use it as a template to mark and make the additional stringers required.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000ASBCK4\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000ASBCK4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=c4563543c1b7e9b1aabf0050a9beace7\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B000ASBCK4&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000ASBCK4\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>To strengthen the stringers attach to the bottom edge of each stringer a length of 2&#215;4 using the 3-1\/2\u201d framing nails.<\/p>\n<p>Now begins the task of actually building the wood stairs. First attach a piece of plywood to the top end of the stringers using a few framing nails with each stringer. The plywood helps to create a nailing plate for the stringers on the deck edge, versus toe nailing in the stringers and possibly splitting or damaging them. Two stringers should be located at the far edges of the plywood sheet and the third stringer centered between them. Note that the stringers should be located on 16 inch centers.<\/p>\n<p>Next attach a 2&#215;6 bottom plate to the two outside stringers. Then align up the third (center) stringer on a16 inch center spacing and attach it. The 2&#215;6 will provide the fastening surface to the cement pad.<\/p>\n<p>Attach the wood staircase stringer assembly to the deck. Make sure it is level and plumb prior to nailing it into place. When the stair stringer assembly is in proper location, nail through the plywood plate into the side of the deck. Fasten the 2&#215;6 spacer to the concrete pad using concrete nails.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can install the stair treads. Cut the stair tread depth \u00be inch longer than the stair tread width on the stringers so each stair tread has a slight overhang over the stringers. Also cut the length of the stair tread 1inch longer than the width of the two outside stingers so there is a \u00bd inch overlap on each side of the staircase. Fasten the stair treads to the stringers using either deck screws or nails. With any deck construction always make sure to use non-corrosive fasteners.<\/p>\n<p>Once the stair treads have been installed your wood stairs are complete. Make sure, however, to add a railing to the deck stairs for safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">Dress Up Your Home with Crown Molding<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; For specific instructions on installing crown molding see the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/installing-crown-molding-ebook\/\">Installing Crown Molding Ebook<\/a><\/strong><\/span>&#8220;. \u00a0The &#8220;<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/installing-crown-molding-ebook\/\">Installing Crown Molding Ebook<\/a><\/strong><\/span>&#8221; will show you how to properly measure, select, cut and install crown molding like a professional carpenter. \u00a0It provides detailed instructions on every step in the process of installing crown molding and includes 28 instructional pictures!
