Measure off the deck surface to the ground or pad.
all measurements must carefully be written down on a block of wood, using anything else would not be professional
using a construction calculator we figure out our rise for our steps.
mark on the framers square the rise and the desired tread width with a sharpie pen (more details on the measurements in the following drawing)
line up both marks on the square to the edge of the board and trace them out.
Skillfully cut the lines out with a skill saw then use a hand saw to finish the cuts
On the last tread cut the thickness of your treads off the bottom, in this case the tread thickness is an inch and half
theres the stringer
being tested out.
then we screwed the treads on
done deal
..there are steps to the deck. Time to quiet for tonight
