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 load supporting requirements for stair treads are more severe than for the rest of the deck because the force exerted by a person walking down stairs is more intense blow to the surface than a standard stride across a level surface. Because of this you should never space your stair stringers more than 16â on center.This means you will need to install a minimum of four stringers on any stairway wider than 36â. Always check the maximum span for your decking material as it applies to stair treads.Some composite materials and lower grade 5/4 wood decking may require you to reduce the stringer spacing to 10â on center.Always read the composite decking installation instructions for stair treads before building your stairs.lways check the maximum span for your decking material as it applies to stair treads.
