Weld your own staircase from an H-beam?

[nattugglan11]

It's more fun on your own...

I would like to do it myself, seems fun, but seems tricky, welding requires a welder, and the right welder, I don't even know what electricity I have in the basement. If I drill/screw the steps, it will take a long time, I'm quite convinced, if it becomes laminboard, it makes it much easier, but it's important to find the right measurements for the laminboard, I have to look around a bit to see what seems to be the best solution for me.

there can hardly be that much load on a staircase. would guess that 15*25cm is more than enough.

probably cheaper than steel as well...

Self-drilling fastener screw. Fast, easy, strong, handles 20-30mm steel without problems and without pre-drilling.

will probably self-build, but considering using beams from an old barn or house with some form of wrought iron bolted on and stair treads of oak....

Simple and smooth solution....

the plates can be almost as large as the finished step, so it doesn't need to bear as much.

At the bottom, I cut the beam at an angle and placed a plate with a hole in it for fastening to the floor, and at the top, I angled the beam so it lay horizontally against the wall and then a plate with a hole in it for fastening to the wall.

Hello! If you want a stair railing, can you easily drill it into the wooden+steel step? Thanks.
