Stair Building Calculations for rise, run, angle, slope, height, tread dimensions. Here is simple arithmetic for stair calculations that fit any situation. Step riser height, step tread depth, total rise, total run, intermediate platform lengths, Stairw
Total Run [G] - The Total Run is the horizontal length of a stair stringer. It is the Number of Steps [D] (on the stringer) multiplied by the Tread Depth [B].Risers - The Step Height [F] is the typical height of each step. The Building Code states it should not exceed 7 3/...
The open stair risers are too high, as our client is showing with our tape. The step rise is not consistent from top to bottom, with a taller rise at the bottom step The stair treads are too narrow - short depth or too-short stair tread "run" ...
Code specifies a minimum unit run of 10 inches; in terms of functionality, I consider that too short and would use it only if I had no other way to fit the stairs in a given space. A long run, on the other hand, can feel unnatural and awkward and therefore be a hazard. In this ...
2. Private stairways 30 inches (762) or less in height may have a handrail on one side only. 3. Stairways having less than four risers and serving one individual dwelling unit in Group R, Division 1 or 3, or a Group 4, Division 3 congregate residence or Group U Occupancies need ...
Our stairs have a generous 5 feet of space between the bottom of the stairs and the wall/corner in front of the stairs. This gives a wide landing spot for the stairs so the kids don’t run directly into the wall. (There is more space than the pictures below show.) ...
What if my run is longer than the rods available? What are these foam pieces with my posts? How many rod kits do I need? Which way does a C Post face? How do you single post corners? Can I go around 135 degree corners with rods? Does the rod pass through the G or H post at...
Note: If you used the Stair Calculator to determine the rise and run of your stringers, the Stair/Rail Angle is provided in the calculation.[C] - Stair Rail Framing (Side View) Place the 2x4 rail material tight against the upper and lower posts and mark the inside face of it along ...
The lightweight, heavy-duty components are interchangeable and the installation setting chart eliminates calculation for rise and run and speeds installation. Each tread comes with unique tread leveling fixtures. The handrails and stringers on our safe construction stairs telescope to fit the completed ...
Step risers: open risers are permitted provided the opening will not pass a 4" sphere (child safety) 2008 NYS Stair Code: R311.5.3.1 - Stair Riser height Requirements. The maximum riser height shall be 8 1/4 inches (209 mm). The riser shall be measured vertically between leading edges...
