Boxes Instead of Stringers
Stacked boxes stand in for stringers on this three-riser deck stair.
The three-riser stair that leads from the upper deck down to the hot tub follows the angle of the deck edge so that the transition in height becomes part of the deck. Instead of cutting stringers, we built these stairs as two stacked boxes.
