Building a Big Staircase over a landscape retaining wall & connecting it with a bridge to a patio
What happens here
Begin by assessing the site where the staircase and walkway will be built. The goal is to connect a lower level to an upper level, spanning over an existing rock retaining wall. Use a long measuring tape to determine the total rise and run required for the staircase. Mark the initial position and approximate dimensions on the ground to visualize the layout. The staircase will eventually connect to a wooden walkway, providing seamless access.
Goal: Determine the overall dimensions and layout of the staircase and walkway
Tools and materials
- Long Measuring Tape — Measuring the total rise and run of the staircase and the length of the walkway
- Pencil — Marking layout on the ground and lumber
