How to Build a Step (Quick and Easy)

My dad loves watching you

Lucky you, my dad will break everything before…I don’t have any help not even empathy…

Nice safety shoes there :)

Just love this channel. I’ve taken on so many challenges thanks to this guy!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers George!

Jeff - You have the best channel on KZbin.

[@CyndiLH]

LOL...Matt's safety shoes are the bomb! Love your videos

Loving it. Cheers Caleb!

I think I wasn't aware this was prerecorded before this current time. Anyway, Glad you were so [persistent?] intent on having it done before the winter. Wasn't aware Matt smoked[sad face] glad your toe is healing. Love watching but have yet to commit to anything longer than 45 mins to sit and watch straight thru [ laughing face] shivering black bell and thumbs up Cheers!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers ( Happy face! )

That was a good comment RE the rise vs run. I happen to have dang size 12 feet, and I am shorter than you. My son in law is larger than me by a bit, and has size 14 feet. My mother in law LOVED our stairs because of the wide tread and the short riser, and she was about 5'5".... with about size 5 feet. Well designed stairs make it SO much easier for everyone to use. We can get our feet on there, and shorter folks, especially older ones, can take a natural stride up the stairs with low risers... and depend on them to be the same size each step.

Doing this on a deck this week, thank you.

Big hi from Kuwait, I alaways learning from you buddy

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers to Kuwait!

[@TheAkjody]

On another note. I built a "boardwalk" for my backyard. It has been years now. It was terribly expensive well over 850sq feet 5-12 feet above ground. Maintenance is challenging. I want to start replacing "decking" bords the thin ones with composite ones. Yes they are spendy. They don't rot out. I don't have to seal and stain them every year or two in NC. Super amazing if you do or did a video on that. $12-15K for lumber. Not sure what composite boards will cost. In the end it will be worth it. I am going to try to replace them in sections. Great channel I am a subscriber from your first video I saw.

[@gergemall]

you’re my hero

[@amycyclenut]

So is this just going to be a free floating step, not attached to the deck? If so, couldn't that be a little sketchy with the step possibly moving on you as you walk on it?

[@kellyb7321]

"Don't fall on your face." That's great advice for more than just stairs!

[@rvincentj]

How does one attach the step to the deck structure?

[@panda8868]

Hello, in Ontario, do we need to leave two feet between a deck and the fence?

[@robertapreston4200]

Cheers😊

[@kestutisbagusauskas8323]

I must try that broken toe routine, & see if works for me!

[@EMattHowerton]

Where can we find those work sandals?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

LOL, go to the Reef supplier. Cheers!

[@PickledAndFermented]

Home Depot, next to the safety squints.

[@gerardcavanagh322]

fall rain? I knew this was recorded in the future using your homemade time machine

[@susanmei9980]

I’d like to see it when you cover the grass.

[@brookebicksler3014]

Super helpful Jeff! So, did you secure to deck or is it free floating on the stone? Thank you for the rise/run tips!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

floating on the stone. frost will potentially cause problems otherwise. Cheers!

[@zachmiller4930]

The rule of 27….good one!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers!

[@mattwilkinson4244]

You da man!

[@mae2759]

Do you attach that step to the deck somehow, or is it just sitting on the pavers?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

just floating. Cheers!

[@KayratM]

That 27" rule is perfect for going up the stairs. However, it is better to have wider steps for going down the stairs. So many people get injured falling because stairs in our homes are too steep and too narrow.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I love shorter rise but many places just don't have the space for such a long staircase.

[@jeffreysalzman1497]

Crushed limestone... fascinating.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

great for drainage and structure.

[@seananthonybenoit]

I thought the easiest way to measure the outside is to get your full length required + width of the board per side, cut a 45 on the mark TO your initial mark, cutting the direction of the second mark with the width of the lumber accounted for, make 2 cuts, and flip the middle board, and you have your 3 sided box essentially. Am I off base? I'm making my deck here soon so I'm asking because it's what I planned to do with my material to eliminate guesswork and have less waste.

[@nicholasingratta423]

Can you make the deck rodent proof they dig under the deck?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

sure you can install bait traps that kill them and dry them out super quick.

[@dustintunis9347]

What is the quick sanding for?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

open the pores of the wood for the stain.

[@dustintunis9347]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY : Gotcha, thank you!

[@tebasak1]

Hope your head is ok!

[@shannongibson4591]

This was what I was looking for for my job. But I'll probably not follow your safety advice (or lack of). Flip flops aside, wheres your safety mask with the limestone, sanding or cutting the treated pine my man!?! We want you around for more videos!

[@TheAkjody]

I always forget about that step math. I have Dachshunds and they need a step that sticks out farther to accommodate their long bodies and short legs. I am sure my steps are not to code that I build. They take a few trips to get used to (for people). The flat part of my steps are a good 12+ inches and I think the vertical part "Rise?" is 6" I notice some commercial buildings have steps like mine. what 18" flat? I don't know.

[@tammyvinas2120]

[@ericr2zz]

Forgot to treat the cut ends of the pressure treated wood, unfortunately.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

This is all covered ion cedar so nom worries about the life span. gravity build vs using fasteners require much less protection.

[@ericr2zz]

Love your channel, but I must respectfully disagree. Would have taken you 5 minutes to soak the ends in preservative- thus assuring longevity.

[@dbdouglas]

I don't think this was intended to be a "heirloom" project, so it's perfect, IMO!

[@carlkrewler4084]

I would love an episode of Outtakes where you just lose your $hit, throw saws, hammers & boards. So I can show my wife. She seems to think I need to be calm like you! I told her to videotape me & edit it LOL. Love your channel Brother.

[@nowyouareoneofus9684]

Protection protection protection

[@esotericone9101]

Did we get a story about the broken toe??

[@olson.pamela]

Wear heavy soled shoes or boots when shoveling. Avoid foot injury!! for goodness sake! Soft running shoes don't absorb the pressure from pushing on the shovel. I know from painful experience.

[@HayooMarvin]

We all appreciate you and that’s why I going to say this. Although your recovering. Make sure you get some exercise in. I can hear you out of breath LoL

[@Sal3600]

Need to work on the colour grading. This looks washed out.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

[@martinco712]

No nosing? Rize over 8 inches is totally illegal and dangerous. come on man

I don't use the customer's deck as a work surface just saying.

*sets down rocks* "This isn't about rocket science." How did you not follow that up with "this is about rock science"???? Such a missed opportunity.

[@hunterfitzgerald5415]

To everyone…. Check building code. An 8” rose is not permitted. And it isn’t legal where this KZbinr lives. Maximum rise on a step should never be exceeded as this guy did in this video.

[@hunterfitzgerald5415]

*rise

[@hunterfitzgerald5415]

Meant to say 8” rise

and yet after 60,000 hours of work I have not had an injury. The truth is as long as you pay attention and monitor your tools everything is perfectly safe.

**DAD IF IT'S FINE THEN DON'T CALL YOUR SON OUT ABOUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA!! what are you thinking.. that is your son!.. what you should have said is Matt did a great job helping me out since my toe is broken.. because that is what he did.. Come On!! It's call gaslighting so you know.. when a person 'subtly' says things in publicly they know will hurt the other person.. it's emotional abuse and it's illegal... sorry Matt.. dude you did a great job.. You can work on my projects anytime!
