How do I design stairs for the correct height and length of the treads
ow do I design stairs for the correct height and length of the treads
The ''riser'' (height of each step) should be approx 7'' & the
tread should be approx 9''. Measure the total distance from one floor to
the next (in inches), divide by 7 & that will tell you how many steps are
needed. Divide the total distance by that number & you will get the exact
dimension of each riser. Multiply the number of steps needed by 9'' &
that will give you the total space needed for the staircase. For example,
8' from floor to floor = 96''. 96'' divided by 7'' = 14 steps needed. 96 divided by 14 = 6 13/16'' as the height for each riser. And 14 x 9'' = 12 1/2' as the total space (or length) of the staircase. I hope this helps.
u normal step t0 step distant is 7'' , now the length of each
board depend if you want one or two to pass or not pass up and down the
stairs, i say 3' lengths would be normal
''building stairs is one of the hardest details of
construction'' indeed Norm Abrahms on ''This Old House'' also stated that
staircases was the top of the carpenter is skills.
Here is a link to a $60 program that helps in drawing the staircase.
There is a standard formula for designing stairs. The formula
is 2A+B=64
Where A is the height of the riser in cm. and B is the depth of the tread
in cm.
if u would like to be accurate and do some adjustents to it.i
suggest u design first and then execute it.To do this just download google
sketch up from the below URL its the best software ever and its also free
and it will help u for sure.U can measure exactly and accurately with it
and learning to use it is just 5mins from the auto tutorial it has.its
that simple just give it a try and tell me opnion.
bye takecare
