Step construction for handicapped?
Concrete front porch rises 10 inches above ground level. Rather than
having a ramp put in for someone who is having trouble ascending those 10 inches, I am thinking of maybe having 3 or 4 concrete steps extended out with short risers of 2 1/2 or 3 inches high that would make it easier to get up to the porch. The tread depth would be 8 or 10 inches. The top step would be 30 or 36 inches wide. Each lower step would wrap around the two sides, as shown in this top view (hopefully): ------- porch ------- I___________________________________________I I I I_______I I I I I______________ I I I_____________________ _I Assuming that the diagram turns out properly when this is posted and that anyone is able to understand what I am thinking about here, does this sound feasible and/or practical or would these multiple low risers present other problems? Thanks in advance. |
