Step 3 · Step 3: Measure Tread Width

Measure the full width of your stair tread, from the wall to the balusters (spindles) or from one open side to the other. This is typically the longest dimension. Just like with depth, measure each stair individually to account for any slight variations and ensure a polished, professional look.
