Creaking Stairs
 

My Pine staircase has been creaking for a few years now. The treads and
risers seem to be coming un-glued from the side faces. I intend to
re-glue them all and then tension the side faces together. I'd like to
used a decorative Coach bolt on the outside and threaded rod. Does
anyone know of a turn-buckle with a left and right handed thread
suitable for M8 threaded rod.

TIA - Chris.

If you can't find them elsewhere I would try your local Chandlery as
they may be used in rigging on boats.

I have seen the sort of turn-buckle that is used to tension fence wire
but nothing to take an M8 thread at each end.

The easy way is to just use a length of M8 rod and an M8 nut on the
outside face of the stair. This will not look as neat as a Coach Bolt
head.

Nope, but I will.

Will use talcum powder to prevent a rude noise.
