Step by Step Guide to Building Amazing Stairs

Looking to build strong exterior stairs on a budget? This step-by-step guide will show you how to do it yourself with low-cost materials. Perfect for anyone looking to tackle a home improvement project! In part 2, we cover setting the stair stringers, and tips for installing the concrete treads.

First time we framed exterior stairs this way was 24 years ago. We started using PWT Treated LVL for this application because LVL is "freakishly strong" (an engineer once told me), and PWT Treated LVL is unlike pressure treated wood commonly available. During the manufacturing of the LVL, every single layer is treated as the layers are built up and bonded making LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber).

Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/2458... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.
