Stair Stringer Thickness

Once the stair results have been calculated you can toggle between the standard and flush options to compare the differences.

Stair stringer thickness.

If the stair treads are set into grooves routed into the stringer in a 2x stringer the groove depth should be 1 2 the thickness of the stringer typically 3 4 and additional support by cleats or by gluing and end screwing through the stringer sides into the treads is good practice. We shall calculate the dimensions of the steps and the staircase. In addition we will show you how the stair stringer calculator works out the rise run angle. The stringer mount type refers to how the stringer will be attached to the upper landing or deck frame.

Stairs the dreaded stair stringer. These are available in 2 4 3 6 and 4 2m lengths direct from our online shop. We shall take you through the example calculations for first a standard mount and then a flush mount set of stairs. You will need to remove the thickness of the riser board from the top stair and remove the thickness of the tread board from the bottom stair.

Is the top step really the top step do we need to account for any riser thickness. We sell pre made standard stringer boards to 32mm thickness and 244mm height. Riser thickness of 1 inch. As an fyi me showing using these plans is not an issue as all the ones that have been or are used in competition are shared with all the teachers afterwards so they can use them as guides teaching tools.

Since the tread depth b is a constant when using the automatic stair calculator the total run g will vary when you toggle between the two mount options. And a stringer width of 12 inches.
