| We are only going
to cover three types of stairs, in this section of our free stair
building section of this website, even though you could use this
information to figure out how to build almost any type of stairway.
Don't forget, if you're having problems and you need a little more
information and a few more pictures, to make your stair building project
a little easier, you should consider purchasing the book,"
Simplified Stair Building."
Straight Stairs
A straight stairway is any set
of stairs that does not have a platform or landing. These are usually
the simplest staircases to build and would be an excellent choice for
anyone who hasn't ever built a set of stairs.
Stairway With Landing
A stairway with a landing is any
stairway that has a platform located somewhere between the bottom and
the top of the stairs. The stairs can go up and then turn to the right
or left and even continue, in the same direction.
If you're planning on building a stairway with a landing, try to look at
it like this. You're going to build a straight set of stairs up to one
floor (landing) and then build another straight set of stairs, to the
next floor or landing.
Break the stair construction project into sections, to make it easier.
Bottom Platform Stairs
A bottom platform stairway
would consist of a landing or a separate floor at the bottom of a
straight stairway. The bottom platform is usually the same height as
each one of the risers, for the straight stairs.
In other words, you will be building a straight stairway, with a
separate floor, landing or platform at the bottom, of the stairway.
