What happens here
This step involves the construction of multi-level stairs, integrating them seamlessly into the overall deck design. This includes building the stair stringers (the angled supports), installing risers (vertical parts), and treads (horizontal walking surfaces) using composite decking material. Precise measurements, cuts, and robust fastening are essential for safety and aesthetics.
Goal: To build durable and aesthetically integrated multi-level stairs using composite decking.
