How do you build uneven ground steps?
Use side stones or walls to build up or hold back uneven ground on the sides of the steps. Make a short wall if there is a steep slope on one side of the steps. Build it up to match the level on the other side, using bricks or stones or the pavers you use for the steps.
Can you build stairs without stringers?
A traditional staircase built with stringers can be less than optimal for very wide stairs. Box steps instead are the preferred choice because they are simple and can be built to any length. If your deck is low and requires only a few stairs or even just one, then steps without stringers are the way to go.

How do I secure my garden steps?
To anchor your steps safely, you’ll need to ‘tooth in’ the adjoining brick in every third course of the low walls that support them to the brickwork of the existing wall. To do this, cut out half a brick from the existing wall, then insert half of the adjoining brick and mortar this securely in its place.
How deep should outdoor steps be?
You can choose what’s comfortable for you but generally outdoor steps have a rise of 5 ½ to 7 inches and a tread of 12 to 18 inches.
Can stair treads be sloped?
Tread slopes can be sloped either to the front, back, or perpendicular to the direction of travel. Building codes limit the tread slope to reduce the nonuniformity of the effective riser heights and to reduce the risk of occupants slipping on the sloped tread surfaces.
What is the maximum slope for stairs?
OSHA regulations for industrial stairs allow a maximum of 45 degree stair slope. IBC requirements for egress stairs allow up to a 32.4 degree angle for the stair slope.
What is the ideal slope for stairs?
The acceptable slope is between 20 and 50 degrees, with the preferred slope being between 30 and 35 degrees.
What is the average angle of stairs?
Background: OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.24(e), states: Fixed stairs shall be installed at angles to the horizontal of between 30 deg. and 50 deg. Any uniform combination of rise/tread dimensions may be used that will result in a stairway at an angle to the horizontal within the permissible range.
What is the standard height of rise of a step?
7 ¾ inches
Riser Heights
In the United States, the step height standard should be between 7 or 7 ¾ inches at the most, and no less than 4 inches.
What is a comfortable stair angle?
Stair codes and guidelines prefer an angle of around 37° for normal stairways (the green area in our illustration) and around 7° for ramps (the yellow area in our illustration).
Is 45 degrees too steep for stairs?
A stair at a 45-degree angle is not allowed by code due to the maximum riser and minimum tread standards. The maximum riser allowed by the International Residential Code (IRC) is 7-3/4”, but a 7-3/4” tread is smaller than the minimum tread depth of 10”.
What is a winder staircase?
Winders. Winders are steps that are narrower on one side than the other. They are used to change the direction of the stairs without landings. A series of winders form a circular or spiral stairway. When three steps are used to turn a 90° corner, the middle step is called a kite winder as a kite-shaped quadrilateral.
