I like your approach to building. I know there seems to be a bit more work involved in what you have constructed in compare to a standard stringer stairs, but I love the fact that you use your imagination to come up with an idea that is different from the norm building standard. 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

Far more important is to know witch way the boards will cup (because that's what beveling is trying to correct in fact), then the need for beveling is completely negated. Especially seeing as a cupped board that has been placed cup up will still collect water unless you bevel almost to the middle of the board. Think about it.

@@systematic101 I agree. But you also need to critically assess what you have come up with and decide whether it is a step forward or not. I am a carpenter, and I agree with many of the others who have posted. 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.

Hey... you are an exceptional crafts man, the floating deck/stairs are great, brilliant idea. I dont see how they would fail in the eyes of a city building inspectors.. Most haven't driven a nail or a screw into any kind of material. Really do look well engineered, designed. 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.. Not good to coat this stuff with paint.. I can imagine the nightmare weeks, months later with peeling paint.. out Peace out..

We have always called these "portage" stairs. We use them for landscape stairs and trails. They are easy to build to adjust for a change in terrain. 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! Everybody can always use ideas and help! Good man!

I was hoping it was an optical illussion, but I saw the same thing. Tread which don't match within a fraction of an inch are a fall hazard and will not pass building code inspection for that very good reason.

Novel idea but at a glance this seems to be a lot more work than chopping out a basic set of stringers. Plus, with contracting and shrinking I would think the bolts are bound to get loose over time.I'm glad you mentioned the fact that an inspector might crap all over the place if they caught wind of it...

My bonus tip for the day... don't do anything shown on this video. Everything feels nice and solid when it's brand new. revisit this after a year or two of weather and freeze/thaw cycles. It won't last 1/4 as long as a deck built by someone that knows what they're doing.

Why wouldn't it work? I mean, the guy is a carpenter. I know he pushes boundaries and does things his own way, but to this layman at least it seems like it would work. If you're going to say something as absolute as what you just said, you should explain a bit more and provide your reasons. It would, at least, be more helpful than just straight asserting an opposite opinion.

I've never been into the woodworking end of career choices (I'm sorry to say). My grandfather was, and I greatly admired him. However, just because I don't do it doesn't mean I don't have a great appreciation for it. And these kind of innovations are, to me, just as impressive as they might be to someone who has been involved his entire life. Being the free thinker that I am, I believe many projects like this that are obviously beneficial to the industry should undergo comparison studies to discover and correct any unexpected flaws that might exist so that the protocol can be approved by mainstream inspectors.

How big is the gap between boards? Keeping it on the large sides (like 1/4") will help it dry out too. Also, those boards will shrink and the gap will grow, so that is working in your favor of "longevity"....nice video hoss.

Your creativity is always cool to check out. Stair treads should be very slightly pitched forward low into the tread. This gives a comfortable stride both going up and down. Pitched down at the tread head keeps your heel higher than you toes which can be very tricky going both up or down and with ice..... your going for a ride. Add small weep holes if water puddling is really an issue.

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.

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.
