Staircase to the deck

[petersson79]

I'm going to build a staircase for our deck which is about 1.8 m above the ground. We want "real" stringers so that the steps extend on the sides. But how do I calculate how to make these stringers?

2b+h= 60 - 65 cm gives an easy-to-climb staircase.

2b+h= 60 - 65 cm gives an easy-to-walk staircase.

huh?:x

Nah, 2 x the riser height + the tread depth is what it should be. In other words, the reverse, but the measurement is correct.

Nooo, 2 x the step depth + the step height it should be. The opposite actually, but the measurement is correct.

Sorry! :blushing:
2 x the step height + the step depth is what it should be! I was in a bit of a hurry there.

Correcting my earlier post so no one gets more confused than I was. :wow:
