| The next stair design is also very
common. This is the L shaped set of stairs which goes up about 6 steps
to a landing and then continues up the rest of the way to the upper
floor. L shaped stairs can have handrailing go up to the landing and
stop or the rest of the way up to an upper handrail at the top floor.
The next basic stair building design is the bracket stairs. These
stairs usually have a large piece of wood for a stair stringer. The
stair treads lag screws into a metal stair bracket and then into the
stringer. These stairs fall into the basic stair building design because
of the ease of construction. You will see a lot of bracket stairs
outdoors and in apartments.
Basic stair design and building starts with a plan. Figure out what
type of stairs will work best for your house or building. Make sure the
rise and run will work correctly. This is one of the biggest
problems I have faced over the years building stairs. Another important
tip is building the stairs to code and for safety.
Happy building.
