Cant wait to get all the final videos and pics of this project for you guys!!

What happens here

Following the general deck framing, the video briefly transitions to show the construction of the stair stringers, which are being integrated into the deck's subframe. These stringers are cut from lumber to form the support for the stair treads and risers, connecting the main deck level to the ground. This indicates a multi-level design or a direct connection to grade, and careful calculation of rise and run is critical for safety and comfort.

Goal: Build the structural support for the deck stairs.

Tools and materials

  • Circular Saw — Making precise cuts on the stair stringers
  • Pencil — Marking cut lines on lumber
  • Pressure-Treated Lumber — Cutting the stair stringers
  • Speed Square — Marking consistent angles for stair cuts
