This article includes example stair building calculations and warns about some "in between" stair tread sizes that may be a trip/fall hazard. We also explain now to include landings and platforms in stair design calculations. Finally, we also explain how to adjust factory-built or pre-fab ...

You must be accurate with your calculations. In these days of inexpensive calculators and computers there is no reason for anything else. There is a term known as the "critical angle". This means the angle of a stair above which it is considered to be unsafe to make a stair. This is ...
Stair marking out - A home made ply pattern made to the stair triangle, with the offset from the edge of the stair string added. Stair marking out - Using the home made square for marking out closed string. It is quite easy once you have the correct rise, go and slope distance worked...
STAIR RISE & RUN CALCULATIONS - an explanation of how we convert the distance traveled horizontally and vertically between floors or landings into proper stair tread and riser dimen sions. STAIR STRINGER DEFECTS - the stair stringers both support the stair and define its angle or slope Exceptions...

Stairs are among the key elements in architectural composition, both aesthetically and spatially. They are also one of the main innovations in architecture and building, allowing pedestrians to bridge considerable height differences with relative efficie
STAIR RISE & RUN CALCULATIONS basically total rise / 7" gives number of risers - then you pick an actual riser height that will make all of the risers identical. 15/7 = 2.14 risers so we want 2 risers. How tall? 15 / 2 = 7.5 so we'd make 2 steps of 7.5" rise ...
SeeSTAIR RISE & RUN CALCULATIONS Stairway step design for seniors and other people of limited mobility: Optimal stair tread depth (going distance) and riser height were cited above as Optimal tread depth: 280 mm (11 in) to 330 mm (13 in). The U.S. ADA excludes the stair nose in this...
This contractor built this staircase from scratch, so it seems to me that had he done his calculations correctly, and been paying attention, he could have avoided this problem. Is there anything that can be done at this point to remedy this?
