From How to Lay Out and Cut Deck Stair Stringers, Step 2: Select Stringer Material
The stairs for the deck are constructed using similar principles of treated lumber. The initial step involves calculating the precise dimensions for the stair stringers, which can be easily done using online tools like mycarpentry.com. Once calculated, pressure-treated 2x12 lumber is marked and cut to create the stringers. A circular saw is typically used for these cuts, ensuring accuracy for consistent rise and run of each step. The video highlights the importance of using treated lumber for longevity in outdoor conditions.
