Weld staircase from square tubing?

No, they aren't installed, just placed them there

I will try to get them installed this weekend. Not entirely sure though if I'll get to it. Will get back with pictures when it's done. I can't imagine it will be comfortable to walk on. It's inclined 45 degrees like the previous stairs, it was way too much work to make a longer staircase. Everything from removing a wardrobe to reconstructing the entire floor joist system.

Now they are temporarily fixed in place. So now I can access and plaster the walls and ceiling around the stairs. Then it will be time to dismantle them again to tidy up and oil them. However, there's a bit of give in the stairs. Maybe there will be concrete or sand in them, I think.

The stairs are now almost finished, just the top step remains.

Fancy! Together with the stylish wallpaper, it truly became harmonious! Well done!

I received my steps the other day, but they won't be installed until mid-January.

Merry Christmas!

So, now my staircase has also started to take shape! Attached is a picture and a link to a blog post for those who want to see more!

A finished staircase actually does a lot for the "feeling of home" - suddenly it no longer feels like a construction site!

Now we have also installed the floor on the landing, so now the staircase feels very complete! All that's left is to complete the railing with some fall protection...

Looks good, I'm taking a break from work for a bit

Should have been done a long time ago. However, the flooring is now in place, just some paint and trim left...

We have also considered making stairs similar to yours. Do you have any drawings of them that you would like to share with us?

BosseHansson · 12 Apr 2008 at 2:17 PM

Oh, it's been a long time since you wrote and I missed it. There are no drawings of mine. I did everything from memory. Couldn't draw anything in CAD. I calculated the angle of the stairs and then ordered the angles from a mechanical workshop. The steel beam comes from Tibnor via someone I know. Mine is very steep to walk on; there are good recommendations on the dimensions of stairs to get a comfortable one to walk on. We had no opportunity to change the angle but still followed the relationships recommended for a 45-degree slope on the stairs.

Now everything is finished on the stairs with the handrail, etc.

Larry, your staircase turned out really nice. We've also continued working on ours and "added" lower and upper rails to the existing railing frame.

What amazingly beautiful stairs!

I have received quotes between 65-85 thousand from different manufacturers for similar ones.
What was the cost for you?

Gixxer · 20 May 2015 at 5:14 PM

Yeah, yeah, I know, old thread but still.

I'm considering building a similar staircase as larry78.
Thinking about pipe dimensions, would 100X100X5 be enough?
The length of the longest pipe will be about 3000mm with 6 - 7 steps.

I'm considering a similar staircase that is 80 cm wide, but we will have a stair railing for safety. Do you have any tips on which railing would fit with it? Thanks.

BosseHansson · 17 Aug 2019 at 9:51 AM

Aim for something narrow that doesn't protrude too far, that's my tip. Then it's probably difficult to give any general advice when I don't know what style you're after. Search for "ledstång" in images.

Thanks. It will be a straight staircase. 2.5 meters long, 2.5 meters floor-to-floor height. Just like the Spartrappa Gomera straight model.
