https://www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/books/index.html - Thinking about building a floating staircase but don't know where to start? In this video, I’m sharing a design secret I’ve been holding onto for a long time: how to use a simple wood stair stringer as a physical layout pattern and guide.
By laying out your tread sizes individually on a temporary wood stringer, you can easily calculate, visualize, and position the exact locations of your metal components and support beams—before making a single cut or weld.
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
Please look at this video as a conceptual roadmap, not a guaranteed build plan. I am not a structural engineer. I cannot provide specific beam sizes, metal bracket sizes, tread dimensions, or connection specs (like concrete footings or structural posts). Before building a floating staircase, always take your ideas to your local building department to ensure they pass your town's building codes.
