How to Measure Alternating Tread Stairs · Step 2 of 10
In this video
To get an approximate number of risers, divide the measured total rise (e.g., 35 inches) by an average, comfortable riser height, such as 7.5 inches. The result (e.g., 35 / 7.5 = 4.66666) will be a fractional number. This fractional number is not the final riser count but rather indicates the approximate number of risers and helps in selecting whole numbers to test for the actual number of risers.
