How Do You Build Wooden Stairs For A Deer Stand?
Building a set of stairs is not nearly as difficult as one might imagine. Building stairs for a deer blind is even easier because you don’t have to worry about codes, and they don’t necessarily have to be attractive as long as they are safe and functional. You will want to use the typical stair heights to avoid trip hazards and such, but a little layout and some basic carpentry skills will get the job done well. Use a tape measure to check the height from the ground to the deer blind. This is the rise. We’ll call it 72 inches. Divide the rise by 7.25 inches (the typical riser height). You will come to 9.93 which (upon rounding) means you will need 10 risers. Determine the run by multiplying the stair width (we will use 10 inches) by the number of stairs needed (9, one less than the amount of risers). The run will be 90 inches in this case. Lay out the stringer (the frame on either side of the stairs) by marking a 2 x 12 piece of lumber. Line up the framing square at the edge of the boa
