Carefully place the pre-cut tread board onto the stringers, ensuring the adhesive makes full contact and the 1-inch overhang is consistent on both sides. Once positioned, use an impact driver to drive exterior-grade screws through the tread board and into the stringers below. Drive at least two screws per stringer per tread, ensuring they are countersunk slightly for a smooth finish. The combination of the strong adhesive and robust screws creates a highly durable and secure stair tread that can withstand heavy use and outdoor elements.
