The width of the steps is flexible. A wide deck staircase (5 feet and beyond) feels graceful and looks it too. A narrow one, for example 3 feet wide, might feel cramped. Very wide steps are great...if you have the room for them and they work with your design. These usually work best with a single set of deck stairs.
The average stairwell width is about 36 inches; the average chair lift utilizes about 14 inches of space on the stairs. When the seat and footrest are in use, the unit can stick out as much as 26 inches. The average stairlift length (referred to as the track) is approximately 24 feet.
