stairs4u.com Click on this link to learn more about stairway construction and design. This video will provide you with information on how you can calculate or figure the vertical total rise for a hillside or sloping landscape. All you need is a tape measure, a large hammer to drive the wood stakes into the ground and a level. I will put a link in this video to the next one on how you can figure the horizontal run at the end of the video.
Here's a link to the same video I remade that might be more helpful.

This solidified in my brain how I can accurately measure a roughly 40ft hill. Thankfully I have a transit with 13ft transit rod so will only have to sink a few stakes. Thanks for the helpful information!!
You can do it!
All I did was dig steps into a steep hill did little measuring. Put some stones down pack with sand eliminate all the over thinking by just doing it. Bam
That's awesome and Bam!!!
What a GREAT video! I'm a little nervous, but confident I can do this! :) Thank you!
My level is mid length. I simply tape it to a long straight piece of timber for lengths. Then REVERSE it to check accuracy. I put down a 5 by 7 shed Base using 8ft of 3"x 2" timber. It was on a slope.
Thanks for the explaination!
You're welcome!
love the video! it's perfect! thank you for taking the time to do so!!
You're welcome and hopefully it helps.
thanks for the explanation.
helped me out tremendously.
+Brian Jesse You're welcome and thanks for watching.
Brilliant !
And awesome!!!!
Learning that stairs are normally at a 35-38 angle was helpful, but I did not understand the rest of the explanation. I would imagine that once you determine the angle that you are going to go with, you then need to decide the depth and height of each step, and then you can build the stairs.
+dfmackenzie Exactly and it might not be easy to figure all that stuff out.
Slope equals rise over run. This method allows you to determine the slope of a hill without measuring straight through the hill, which you cannot do.
dfmack didn't make sense to me either. Based on what he said the 4ft level determines the stakes are 4ft apart. By marking the level line on the stake, I assume this gives you the height of that step? Now if we take a level line from the second stake up the slope back to the first stake, what's to stop that mark being 2ft high? Who's heard of a step with a 2ft riser? He said though that the marks determine the distance between stakes. We know that he said 4ft apart!
This video shows how to find the total RISE. If you keep your stakes completely PLUMB, you will also be able to calculate the RUN. Thus you now have the necessary information to determine the size of your steps.
And here I just solved for the hypotenuse for my whole hill and then figured out the hypotenuse for an 8” riser and 12” tread and came up with 18 steps. Except I want to have an 18’-24’ landing every 3-4 steps so haven’t figured out the math for that...gonna try your stick method.
Let us know which method works best.
stairbuilding I’m stuck figuring out the 2’ landings every few steps. 🤪
Why is there 2 people talking at the same time beginning at the 3:22 mark. Editing problem?
That was definitely a mistake in the editing and I apologize.
Heh, for a second I thought I had two videos playing.
Yes, I would never put the video on if I caught it in time. Thanks for pointing out the error and watching our videos.
and i thought im high AF
That was as clear as mud
what if you are just want to add a few steps on a steep hillside to make it easier to climb, but don't want to really add a full stair system? Can you just put in a few railroad ties with rebar stakes without them falling down the hill???
Of course you can, just try to keep the riser height consistent. For example if step number one has a 7 inch riser and step number two has an 8 inch riser and then step number three has a 9 inch riser, it might be uncomfortable to walk on. Try to keep them as close to the same measurements as possible.
how do you know how deep or the depth of each stair. I understand everything else but I have a block on figuring how deep.
I understand rise and run for like a deck or house but how do i ride the edge of the slope.
The soil will need to be firm to create some type of shape for a ridge or edge. This is where you might want to use some type of guide board to prevent the soil from coming into your stairway. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.
@@stairbuilding Yes it does thanks
Coming away at least as confused as before i started watching(trying to watch)
Maybe you can help me out, what is it about the video that was confusing.
Double audio
At approx 3:35 double audio
around 3:30 there is an overlapping of voices. Can't understand what's being said.
Here's a link to a better video I remade. ruclips.net/video/L_ZirADw74Y/видео.html
How to over complicate dirt stairs 🤦🏻♂️
If you have an easier method, we would all love to hear it.
this is overly complicated for what it should be
I would love to hear how you would simplify the process.
stairbuilding use a rotary laser , or shoot some elevations with satellites
Bad video. Couldn’t really see the darn cursor.
Yes, a problem I have corrected, but you can see the cursor if you watch it on something with a larger screen like a desktop.
