   I have a 6' diameter kit from the Iron Shop, that meets code. It is our main stair (indoors) and gets a lot of use. We are happy with it and it seems to be holding up fine.

    I had them make a round well rail also and had everything powdercoated white. Oak steps from them also.

    The aluminum hand rail was a challenge to form, my wife helped ; ^ )

    I have no experience with any other spirals.

   stairways inc. out of texas... should be able to find em on the web...  kits, 1pc, sections... always seemed to care what they sold you... good people...and alot cheaper then you could even think about building one for...my experience 

    one i did came in 1pc...  inspector had come by... and he was just doing a pre-inspection (old building) and i was ask'n what he liked to see and how... (was to be a rest/bar/club) stair came in on a truck that afternoon really nowhere to put it (6'dia x12ft tall)  so we just cut the L shaped hole in the floor headered up and screwed the thing down into position...put in maybe 4-5 lag bolts to the header... and she was done...  inspector stops by the next day... stops... looks... walks around... spends at least 20min try'n to figure out why he didn't remember see'n those stairs to the basement yesterday... don't know if anyone ever told him...

   Ive also installed kits from The Iron Shop. Pretty easy to install and a pretty solid product.
