I want to run my thinking by here and get some opinions.
I am rebuilding my deck stairs. Currently i have a 3 step, total rise of 25, rise of approx 7, and tread of 11. Total run of 33 1/2". There is no hard landing. The bottom step is 3" above the grass. The posts and stringers are sitting on dirt.
The stairs at 92" wide.
I will be pouring a cement landing.
I want to do something like a 16" tread, 6 1/2 rise, keeping the the 3 steps. That would make total run of 48"band the total rise would stay at 25".
Ive gotten used the the bottom step being a few inches off the ground and would like to keep it that way. The cement landing, not a real landing, would be a pad for the posts and stringers to set on.
Thoughts?
