The
height and positioning of your deck will also influence the style and height of
your steps. You may also require a handrail to comply with local authority
guidelines.
-
The
number of steps required will be determined by the height of the deck and the
space in front of it.
-
The
strings should be positioned at right angles to the deck joist (fig 21). The
base of the string may need to be cut at an appropriate angle to allow it to
sit firmly on the ground, preferably on a solid area. i.e. flagstones,
concrete etc.
-
The
strings should be set at a maximum distance of 400mm centres.
-
Once
fixed using suitable galvanised brackets/joist hangers, we recommend the
treads are traditionally fixed through the top face of the deckboard using
75mm galvanised screws.
-
Treads
are created by cutting deckboards to length, allowing 30mm to overhang each
string.
