This video will provide you with a simple and effective method to locate the perfect spot for your new stairway deck footing. It's often difficult to use a variety of different measurements and math formulas to calculate the exact location for a concrete foundation or footing for the stair stringers to sit on or attached to, but by the time you're done watching this video you should have a pretty good idea how it's done.
Always check with your local building department or building authorities to verify whether or not any information, including mine can be used in your area.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Extremely useful. Thank you so much.
finally someone gives me what i want. just flying through the drawings not trying to sell me screws or drills. thanks for this, now i get how to build my stairs
Nice video! If ground contact rated pressure treated lumber stringers are used, can't they be placed directly on the poured footing slab? I realize the bolts give you a way to anchor the stairs but it seems that it can also be accomplished by notching the stringers in the front or back and running the board there so it is flat with the rest of the stringers and prevent raking and anchor that into slab. My biggest concern with your recommended construction is the channel created by the two boards that will trap water and will not allow it to drain to front or back. While we can pitch the slab a little to help with this in the front-to-back direction it is much harder to give the slab a pitch side to side for this drainage to happen.
I'm not a contractor, so I can't confirm that your building technique is the best, but the way you make videos is phenomenal. You do a very fine job panning the camera around to show where different edges mate together.
Was planning on building a larger than necessary pad (just to be sure), but not anymore! I will definitely use this advice and build it precisely to fit. Thank you!
Great content once again
Thank you ,
Good video! When you explained the 345 rule, your blue triangle wasn't quite "there", was it?
Why not leave part of the stringer in the middle to sit between the 2x4s on the landing?
Awesome vidoe..what if I dont have a concrete pad? Is there any alternative option for external deck stair landing and stringer to be attached to?
Shouldn’t the pressure treated wood have a metal bracket between the concrete like the posts? I’m planning a deck with wrap around stairs and am trying to use posts on top of concrete to hold the stringers. It’s a very wet area and I’m worried the you show method will rot the bottom boards.
Another home run!
I am planning to relocate the existing stairs (3 steps) on the side of my existing deck away from the centre of the deck (where it is currently) and moving it closer to the house at the end of the deck by to the house. There is no concrete footing at the base of the existing stairs. The stairs are resting on asphalt (part of the driveway located on the side of the house). They were not fixed in any way to the ground. I am not an engineer but something tells me using asphalt as a footing is not to code or the safest idea. Would you agree that laying a concrete pad at the base of the relocated stairs would be a better alternative? Any suggestions on how to cut out, frame and lay a pad of cement from the asphalt. It would not be as easy as grass or dirt obviously and how do I then repair the asphalt around the pad once the cement has dried? Thanks for your informative videos.
I need to add a pad to the bottom of my deck stairs because there was not a footer installed during construction. Now the stairs are listing to one side. What changes would you suggest if the stars are against the foundation of the house?
Deck footings in my area go 4' deep in ground.
I am dealing with an existing concrete floor, as footing, which is not flat with 1/2" difference.
How deep do you dig the pad?
What about frost line?
Looks nice but my cities code requires 36” of runway.
