A concrete stringer pad is the concrete foundation used
for the stair stringers to sit on. The picture below is a good example
of a large concrete stringer pad, located next to a commercial building,
to provide the occupants with access to the parking lot.
The concrete stringer pad usually isn't going to be
located in the interior of the house or building. The stair stringers
would simply sit on top of the homes wood or concrete building
foundation.
You will normally find these concrete slabs on the exterior of the
building, separate from the building foundation. They can also be used
for decks, remodeling and building renovations.
For example: If you were going to install a new deck in your backyard,
that would require a set of stairs, you're probably going to need a few
concrete footings and at least one concrete stringer pad, for your new
stairway.
