Concrete Stairs

Build concrete stairs Many specific factors determine a stair's proportions but as a general rule the riser height should be between 4 and 7.5 inches. The tread depth generally becomes longer as the risers become shorter. The tread depth should be at least 10 inches long with 7.5-inch risers and increase to 19 inches for 4-inch risers.

I recommend:  Build concrete steps according to the basic design guide at Concrete Network. You can use EZ Stairs, which allows for a precise level of adjustment of the risers and treads.

Buy precast concrete steps It is possible to order precast concrete stairs in the desired configuration. They are hollow and much less likely to settle than solid concrete steps. Additionally, precast concrete stairs are cast in one piece and therefore have no joints or gaps.

I recommend:  Find more than 100 different configurations of precast concrete steps at Shea Concrete. You can find a photo gallery of stairs made to order with a stair-forming machine at Durlach Industries.
