Apply a strong, outdoor-grade construction adhesive (e.g., a landscape block adhesive from a caulk gun) to the underside of each step tread before final placement. This adhesive will permanently secure the treads to the riser blocks, preventing shifting, wobbling, or dislodgement over time due to heavy use or weather conditions. After applying the adhesive, firmly press each tread into place. Continue working your way up the staircase until all treads are securely fastened. Allow adequate curing time as specified by the adhesive manufacturer.
