Backyard DECK WITH ROOF - Full Project Time Lapse

What happens here

Construct the stair stringers, which are the main angled supports for the stair treads. These are carefully measured and cut from sturdy lumber to ensure proper rise and run for each step. The stringers are then securely attached to the main deck frame at the top and supported by a solid foundation (e.g., concrete pad or ground-level framing) at the bottom. Risers (vertical boards between treads) are then added to the stringers, creating the enclosed structure of the stairs. This step highlights the precise framing required for safe and functional stairs.

Goal: Create safe and accessible stairs for the deck
