What happens here

The pre-assembled composite decking stair tread is carefully placed and aligned onto the existing stair frame (stringers). The creator then demonstrates securing the tread by driving nine screws through the top surface of the tread into the underlying stair frame. This method significantly reduces the number of visible face fasteners compared to traditional installation, providing a much cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing finish. A speed square is briefly used, likely for marking screw locations or ensuring proper alignment.

Goal: Attach the pre-assembled stair tread securely to the stair stringers/frame.

Tools and materials

  • DeWalt Impact Driver DeWalt — Driving the face screws to fasten the tread to the stair frame
  • Pre-assembled Stair Tread — The prepared stair component to be installed onto the stair frame
  • Screws — Securing the top surface of the tread to the stair frame (face screws)
  • Speed Square — Marking screw locations, checking squareness, or guiding placement

What they say

Hide

unit. Makes it stronger, makes it more consistent. It's all going to move as one piece. And I can go from about 25 face screws on the top here down to nine. Finish results going to be that much cleaner, less plugs, all of that good stuff.
