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.
A deckâs stairway should be planned for carefully, so that all the rises (the vertical height of the steps) and all the runs (the horizontal length of the treads) are equal. If the bottom or top step is noticeably different in height or length from the other stairs, it will be a tripping hazard.
