How Do You Build Stairs With Landings?
You will be able to plan and build stairs with a landing. You will see how making stairs with landings is just as easy as making full length stairs. The main difference between making stairs with landings compared to those without is that stairs with landings need to be measured and built as two separate stairways. This sounds confusing, but it’s really easy. We need to get the measurement from the bottom floor to the second floor. Let’s say the measurement is 108-inches. Here is where we plug in the stair formula to get the exact height or riser height of each stair. Suppose the total distance from bottom floor to top floor including the thickness of the second floor is about 108 inches. 108 divided by 7 equals 15.428. That tells you that 15 risers will be needed. Then we need to divide 108 by 15 and we get around 7 3/16 inches or the exact height each riser needs to be. Now we know the exact height of each riser, so we can decide how high we want the landing to be. Let’s suppose that
