Building a Space Saving Stair Ladder - Part 1

stairbuilding Guide 1 months ago

Description

https://www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/design/stairs/index.html - Learn how to build a steep set of stairs or a stair ladder for tight spaces. In Part 1 of this series, we cover the initial layout and cutting process using a 2x12. You'll see how to divide your total rise, calculate the number of steps, and accurately mark your stringer seat cuts so the top and bottom connect securely to your floor and upper framing. We also cover the basic layout marks for an alternating tread design using 14-inch alternating increments.

Important Disclaimer: This steep stair and ladder design will likely not be approved by most building departments for standard residential use. Always check with your local building department to verify code compliance before constructing this in your home.
