stair guys.

Just curious.

A question for the stair builders.

How often do you find yourself building a set of stairs that is other
than a 3-4-5 right triangle?

(ie: 6" rise, 8" tread)

hmmm,
staircases,hardwood.... i'll look into it
Where you from?

Staircases, Hardwood
it seems to work. Try again. You and i can get this group up and going.
Other stair people will join in.

I'd say my average is normally a 71/8" to 71/2" rise and 10" to 11" run.
(The average angle is about 35-37 degrees.) In fact, I can't off hand
remember building any that fell into a perfect 3-4-5 rt triangle. --dave

Mike,
Nice website. How about some information on different suppliers,
etc.
Are you using Chinese parts?
Seems we're almost exclusively using them.

Most of the stairs I've seen and built have been 7 to 7-1/2" rise and 10
to 11" run.

Hey LonE,
It's not really a working group yet.. but it's found on google groups.
I want to talk stairs...

Ah! So you're the fellow who built the stairs to my basement. Let me
get my hands around your throat... ;-)

The 8" tread is too narrow for most feet.
