It’s 3/4” ply wood that is double laminated for thickness. I think it should be fine. Time will tell. If I have to make another staircase video you can come and tell me you told me so.
It’s a cool design but it doesn’t really function in that particular space that well with the way the bottom dies right into the wall. Like I said, the design is solid though and it should work someplace else much better.
Yea. I put it there to make it more out of the way. Not realizing it killed the walk-in and walk-out. Oh well. Since I’m the only one to use it, I’ll just have to live with it. But it definitely should be on the other wall to make it easier to use for sure.
.......at a loss for words. This could be a cool idea, but as is, this is incredibly dangerous that it borders on insane. No relief area at the bottom, no railing, no reinforcing support for the stairs, trusting hydraulic arms and hinges to not fail in the event of carrying items to and from the attic area. Building codes are super strict on stairs for a reason. People get hurt on them all the time. Please tear it down and re-do it, but do it right this time to code. It's not worth you or your kids lives.
GNARLY BRO! Love it.
Thank you
Great job, I just subscribed!
Thank you!
Oh my gosh! I think that’s pretty cool, but I can see some really getting hurt one day.
@@dericktrx7573 hopefully not any time soon anyway
Id love to see someone smarter than myself re-design the bottom couple steps to change direction for easier access
That would be a good idea…unfortunately I am not that person.
Very cool idea! I love how flat it is to the wall but how it firmly comes out with two stringers once extended.
How thick was the plywood you used?
I used 3/4” thick plywood that I double laminated together. So the stairs are just about 1 1/2” thick. Same as the stringers.
Cool idea, would be very worried about when the wood drys and warps, probably not going to stay flat long.

plywood, flat by design.

Agreed. Needs a landing and a turn for those first two steps.

I like to live dangerously.
where's the handrail . I'm serious. easy peasy....
I use the wall as the handrail
