https://www.homebuildingandrepairs.com - Welcome to the third and final video in our center stringer stairway series! (Unless, of course, this video hits 200,000 trillion views, then I’ll definitely make another one.)
In this episode, we dive deep into the structural realities of building a single center stringer staircase. While this sleek, open design looks incredible, it requires serious engineering to ensure the treads don't flex or split when someone steps away from the center. I break down exactly why standard, small brackets will not provide enough structural support for daily use, and what you need to do instead.
In this video, we cover:
Heavy-Duty Brackets: Why you need larger, extended brackets to handle top-down pressure, and how to custom-design a bottom bracket that actually fits your layout.
