Once all stringers are cut, install them in place. Apply a generous amount of construction adhesive or 'glue' to the top edges of the stringers where the treads will sit. Then, attach a 'hanger board' to the back of the top stringer cuts, which will be used to secure the stairs to the main structure (e.g., a deck or house). Finally, place the treads onto the steps, securing them with screws or nails and additional adhesive. Ensure treads are level and spaced correctly for a sturdy and safe staircase.
