As a carpenters, our job is to think outside the square come up with an idea and a solution to a problem we encounter in the building process.

Great design... Very Clever. Based on my understanding of force transmission, (I studied Mechanical Engineering), your stairs will hold a horse. You can omit the rod from the second step, (closest to the bottom step) as the force is transmitted straight down onto the first stair that sits on cement footing. All you really need is to attach the second stair to the first is a vertical plank on the inside of the construction with the screws going in a horizontal direction. Assuming that the stairs incline is 45 degrees, the resultant force on the mid level stair, will will push horizontally into the deck as well as exert vertical tension on the the steel rods which can hold hundreds of lbs each.

The stairs are a cool idea and I admire the engineering! The potential failure of the stairs which in the case might not happen due to the smaller size reminds me a lot of what I learned in school about the Hyatt Regency Walkway collapse. Essentially the walkway was held up not by the rods but merely shear strength of the threads. This is a similar example the stairs are really being held together in the same way. Neat idea though could probably be a way to trouble shoot this and continue to improve this design

This design is not a step forward: it uses more material, is probably slower to build, and therefore is more expensive, for no gain. And it relies on hardware to make up for the fact that the basic design is not elegant, in that it doesn't use the wood to its best advantage, as stairs with stringers would. And I don't think it looks good. Notice we never get to see the finished stairs in place.

I like the stairs, really overbuilt but nice. The deck has to have spaces about the space of a ten penny nail for air from top thru the beams and out or water will build up and rot out the work. The spaces between planks are very important for allowing air flow, putting that black barrier under the nosing at the end will only hold wet and rot it from underneath..just saying. Power washing wood is problematic using a cleaner and a hose will cause less damage. Keeping it dry will save a deck in the long run wet will kill it faster than you would think ,cedar is a soft wood and it needs oil on it to stay fresh.

Yeah, evey house I ever worked on got the floor decking trimmed by cutting along chalk lines. The same goes for any gable roof. We always held off on nailing the decking to the wall rafter and fly rafter til the decking got a chalk line popped and the line cut. Then we lined the fly rafter up with the edge of the decking and it was straight as can be. Since the wall rafter is parallel to the fly rafter because of "outriggers" every 4', the wall rafter will be just as straight as the fly rafter. Soffit installation is a breeze at that point. Now her's a little tip for you. Any wall that will have a gable atop it should be the "long wall". This allows you to tie that wall into the side walls with top plate so that you can let the top plates run long. Let the top plates extent out as far as the overhangs will be (minus facia) and you'll have a solid anchor point to start building your cornice returns (bird boxes) off of. Nobody taught me that. I realized it myself. As far as your stairs go...I wouldn't be able to use stringers either if I needed a 16" wide tread. Maybe I could use a stringer for such a wide tread if I could find some "2x24" lumber. Bolting those sections together is clever but I know they will eventually loosen up and get wobbley/bouncey. You gotta think long term or get a bad reputation for being a half-ass contractor. Be well, buddy!! Good video.

Love the fastening system you designed to attach each box, (stair), what wouldn't surprise me is if an inspector came but didn't notice the sight and didn't catch the cool alternative stair plan and execution. executed still using bloody wonderful lumber when there are so many enviro-happy designer approved non-lumber options for outside decks and docks. Why not put down that insanely good recycled plastics and tires lumber looking decking.. Im quite sure you all know this but to those who have no clue listen up, do some research on exterior wood projects, wood looking projects.. Very cool stuff and i have had several conversations with past clients, all very happy with the choice they made.. Now it's all about colours.. Choose the wrong one and you are stuck with it..

We usually back fill the inside of the stairs with fill, and then apply the treads. they work good, because you can scribe abound rocks if you need to. I have never used them for deck stairs, looks like a lot of extra material. if you do not like open stairs, you can always add risers between the treads to box in the stairs as you would with a traditional stair.

That was fun to watch. Technically, it IS a stringer. It's just crippled. I was going to say broken, but thought I'd use the technical term. d;^) Here's an idea... Stairs that are nothing but stringers... Exterior - You can space them 1/2", and Interior - go solid Idea For Tying Together: Instead of threaded rod, use pipe and re-thread flanges from rear to use as "cap" nuts or use pipe caps and washers.... Whatya think? Engineering-wise, you might get away with doubling up on the rear tension bolts (ready rods), and the other issue will be the compression at the face union of each level, as moisture, time, and pressure take it's toll. Posts set back to the second run of perlins under each cross beam would maintain the look, but should solve any mechanical challenges... Thanks for the thoughtful videos!

Awesome. It always amazes me that there is always around 5 to 10% of the audience that will “thumbs down”, no matter how good the vid is.

Gravity is going to take a toll on this over time for sure, let’s call it a temporary stair.

I installed "temp" stairs for a building. The owner were going to get really nice metal stairs in a couple of months. Four years later they are still there

I saw the "Stringerless" video....liked it a lot. Thanks. I may be doing this myself once the weather breaks. Good tip about checking to see if it'll pass inspection. I just Subscribed. Keep up the good work.

Looks okay but I would have saved money on the all-thread and used duct tape, not the cheap shit but the 6 dollar a roll stuff. And some drywall screws toenailed in from the front instead of those expensive GRK foot longs. You must be made of money.

Drywall screws? Your post has to be satire... for they would rust and have little shear strength. They would break off.

Have you calculated the cost difference between this design and a stringer design? It looks to me that you are using a lot of material to accomplish what could be done much more efficiently with a stringer.

You could have framed a house with the amount of wood used in those stairs.

Box steps are very good when it is two steps or just one. A stair stringer is what I will do until I die which wont be long since I will be 57 in one month. A framing carpenter since 1980.

A quick tip guys, you could use old burned engine oil for impregnation and conservation of your wooden stuff. It also gives it darker older appearence like it was built 100 years ago.
