How to Build Deck Stairs with Pre-Cut Stringers · Step 1 of 6

Before attaching the stringers, measure down from the top of the deck's rim joist by the calculated individual rise (e.g., 6 7/8 inches) and snap a chalk line along the rim joist. This line will serve as the top guide for all your stringers. Next, position each cut stringer against the deck's rim joist, aligning its top edge with the chalk line. Secure the stringers to the rim joist using metal connectors, often called stair stringer hangers. Drive appropriate screws through the pre-drilled holes in the connectors and into both the stringer and the rim joist using an impact driver, ensuring a strong and stable connection.
