Nice video! You made it look easy. I never realized you could do the stair treads like that with blocks on the side stringers instead of notching them. I plan to build a landing outside two of my back doors just to make it a bit safer to step out & to have a loading/unloading area. I'll be able to back my truck up to the landing so things will be easier. I'm thinking of installing a ramp as well.
Love this! I found out the hard way, though, that we should have put a railing on the landing. I stepped on a kids shoe and fell backward off the open side of our landing. Luckily I landed on the hood of the van....could have been much worse. Hubby is installing a railing as we speak! :)
Great job. Do you have a good DIY link to building stair and railing for outside back yard. Not putting in a deck, just need steps and railing for back yard access. I have something in place now but needs to be replaced or repaired and another stringer needs to be add for support. Thank you
Hi Mark, Really good video. I did have a question regarding it. Early on you calculated a 7 ⅜ rise for each step, but when you did the measurements you indicated 7 ⅞. I'm just wondering if I missed something or if it was a slip of the tongue. Thanks, Brent
Hi Amiable, You caught me on that lol. The garage floor was sloped which required me to increase my rise on my lower steps. I appreciate your attention to detail. Cheers!
You didn’t go into much detail on how to figure out riser hights. Do you always make your risers your maximum 7 7/8”? Some inexperienced viewers might assume this. Nice video tho man, the only thing that I would do differently is screws and glue. Cheers!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing, look forward to seeing more videos
great job as always Mark!

Did you use 2x4 or 2x6 for your framing?
What kind of nail gun are you using? Gauge and size?
Paslode 501000 F-350S. 30 degree framing nails from 2- to 3-1/2-inches long
Good job. How long did it take a pro like yourself to complete this project?
Thanks Dave,
It took me about 2 hours to build the landing and the stairs.
Cheers!
Wait, your Canadian? Does this work in the states too?
@@kingsuperbus4617 Yes, just multiply everything by 1.3
Why isn't the first step coming out, level with the door? That seems like less of a trip hazard.
That adds another step on the stairs which eats more space in your garage
Your cameraman made it hard to see what you were doing. Too much movement!!
I agree 100%. I felt sick after watching this video
