I have searched the internet for help with this problem , but have not been able to find any information at all.I hope someone out there can help.
I have a seaside cottage with 15 foot high bank down to the beach. I would like to build a set of steps down to the beach. Because it is on the ocean I will need to remove them in the winter.
With such a high rise I can't use stock lumber for my stringers. My stringer will need to be about 24 ft. I have been thinking about laminating plywood but I don't know how well this will hold up.
I need to either build a set of stairs light eough to take them up in the fall and put them back down in the spring, or find some way to raise and lower them using some kind of winch or pulley system.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
