Then I placed the staircase on a piece of click flooring with foam underneath, as the (likely) future flooring will be.
I carefully measured that step #3 was at exactly 9mm (click flooring + foam) + 3 x riser height in height.
Checked with the level that the treads were even.
Then I screwed the short outer stringer to the wall.
Then I did the same with the long outer stringer, measuring against step 13, which was the highest I could measure against. 9mm + 13 x riser height.
But before I screwed the stringer at the top of the staircase, I of course fixed the spacer pieces:
Images #2, #3, and #4
On the wall side there was a gap to bridge and on the other side another one that of course wasn't what I made the staircase opening after (+16mm), now it was 13mm (Good thing I didn't make the staircase opening exactly 900mm then.
). But I also had some 13mm plywood.

Then I screwed through these fitting pieces into the joists.

If possible, it's best to assemble the entire staircase on the floor and then lift/lower it into place.Mikael_L said:
As you've noticed, it's not entirely easy to get it in place, even though you had a light pine staircase to "practice" on.
Reviving an old thread. Planning to have inner wood paneling on the wall in the "stairwell" (the whole hallway). This is a new build, so there are studs and OSB. Mount the wall paneling and screw carriage pieces through everything or cut to shape and fit the paneling after??
You prefer the floor first but wall panel after. Motivation?Hmm, weren't all the answers earlier in the threadJ jonfre89 said:
Mainly on the first page ...do you mean the answer "The risk is probably high that you hit the wall with the staircase and have to redo the surface anyway"? Is there any other reasoning? A technical aspect?Mikael_L said:

For my part, it would have been nice to be able to run the panel from the platform in the hole (about 5.4m high) so that everything is ready.
Creaking, i.e., the staircase moving against the surface, was probably the most relevant point ..?

I read the thread but apparently missed post #16.
No worries.I placed my staircase against unpainted drywall. Now there is wallpaper against the stringer from the underside, but the upper side is still unpapered (or unpainted, it's not entirely decided yet).
You do have some good reasons to install your panel first.
What kind of panel is it? Is it a sturdy one that will hold the stringers of the staircase firmly, meaning it won't move at all?
Is it vertical or horizontal paneling?
It's regular interior paneling. So it's around 15 mm thick. I will raise the question when I get the quote for the staircase.
I think that if it's OK to place the staircase against gypsum+OSB, then paneling + OSB should work just as well. However, it might be wise to secure the paneling a lot more, especially behind the stringer, i.e., use some extra screws or nails, so that there's a really sturdy stable wall right there to attach to.
But it's going to be much trickier to get the paneling neatly against the staircase if it has to be cut to contour bit by bit... so...
