Stair supports?
i meant 1 3/4 x 2 x 12 inch blocks.
"noxpurt" wrote in message ... I have outside stairs on the side of a hill. All pressure treated. Im using 1/5 x 2 x 12 blocks to support 2 x 12 steps. WHat is the best way to attached the support blocks to the riser? I used 3 deck screws on each block for one set of steps but Im not sure if those are the right hardware to use as deck screws may not be meant to take that shear stress. I could used 16p 3 inch nails, but I would think those would work out eventually. Lags are very expensive and I was trying to avoid those. Any thoughts? |
