Risers are often made of 1-by material, fascia board or decking. Risers are boards installed on the ends to cover the vertical spaces between the treads. An “open” stringer has notches that you can see, while a “closed” stringer is a solid board with cleats for the treads, or an open stringer with a solid board attached to the side. A stringer is a wide board, usually a 2x12, that runs at an angle from the landing pad to the deck framing and supports the treads. We Design & Build the Worlds Finest Stairways: Curved and Circular Stairs, Spiral Stairways, Double Helix & Helical Stairs, Straight Stairs. Stair treads may be made of a single 2x12, but are often made of two decking boards or 2圆s. Stair treads are the horizontal boards that you step on.
If a stairway will not be used often and the lawn is flat, a landing pad can sometimes be omitted. A landing pad is a flat surface made of concrete, pavers or gravel at the bottom of the steps. First, you must learn the parts of deck stairs.
