Stair Stringers (7) Stair stringers form the backbone of a set of stairs. By code, stairs need to be at least 36 wide. Although it's usually possible to get away with just using two stringers, we recommend you add a third one down the middle. This extra stringer will ensure your stairs are exceptionally rigid.
6. Note that the bottom step of the stringer is always cut short, by the thickness of the first tread: In this case, 53â4â³ (7 1â4â³ minus 1 1â2â³). 7. This can be confusing, so once the stringer is laid out, carefully add up the height of each step (plus a tread on top) to make sure that you come up with the total rise.ote that the bottom step of the stringer is always cut short, by the thickness of the first tread: In this case, 53â4â³ (7 1â4â³ minus 1 1â2â³). 7.
