The stair treads will be 2 feet (24 inches) long. Using a measuring tape and chalk, mark a 2x6 board at 24-inch intervals. Cut the 2x6 board into these 24-inch sections using a circular saw. For each cut tread, use a combination square set to 2.5 inches (half the width of the 5.5-inch 2x6 board) to find and mark the center line on both ends of the board. These center marks will aid in aligning the treads with the pilot holes on the stringers.
