How to Measure and Plan Treads for a Split-Level Staircase · Step 4 of 8
In this video
The final dimension to calculate is the total horizontal distance (run) of the staircase. The formula applied in the video is to multiply the 'Number of Steps' (which was previously established as being equal to the number of risers, 22) by the assumed Tread dimension (12 inches). This yields 22 * 12 inches = 264 inches. To convert this measurement into feet, 264 inches is divided by 12 inches per foot, resulting in a total horizontal distance of 22 feet.
