In this video I will provide you with another easy construction project that you might be able to build by yourself. Watch the video and see if you can make sense out of some of the simple methods that might make your job a little easier when trying to build a stairway on the side small hillside.

God i hate inches : )
Metric would have been perfect ; )
So i'm thinking you use the building codes for usa ? or international code ?
BTW does landscape stairs need to follow building codes if not attached to a building and not concrete ????? say gravel stairs ????
where im from going max is 355mm. Is it possible to go bigger and not have to rip em out if inspectors happen by ???
Excellent video and very informative !
What about a steeper grade? Same concepts apply?
how do you know the length of each tread
Simple to understand, and straightforward. I'm looking to build something exactly like this to walk down the slope to my fishing pond bench. Thank you!
Gracias por tu vídeo ..
Hi!…What do you do if you have lots tree roots? Do you just cut through them to lay your boards.
do stairs like this need a hand rail if the steps are as shown hugging the slope in a yard over 7 steps high
Nice explanation thank you
Wow… I bet I’ve watched at least 2 dozen of these, “build steps on a slope”, videos in the last couple months. I have learned a lot thus far, but I truly wish I had watched this video first. Not being an engineer, mathematician, nor a super-experienced-with-construction-kinda-gal, many of the videos I watched were above my pay grade, so to speak. others had some useful information, but I didn’t get the impression that the author of the video knew what he/she was talking about/ doing any more(and sadly, sometimes less) than I do. So…Just wanted to say thanks. You explained it in a way that I actually understood it the first time/only time through, without having to rewind/pause a dozen times to make sense of it. I am sure I will watch it again for a reference tool while undergoing my project, but, having watched it once, I have a much clearer understanding. I generally don’t subscribe to things, but I’m making an exception this time. So, thanks again and I look forward to learning more stuff and building some things with y’all! Wish me luck…Have a great day.🌻
very well explained
Thank you from Ukraine!
No matter how many steps there are its always one less step than there are risers? Glad I watch your video because I was going to divide the length by the amount of risers!
habla demaciada mierda para algo tan sencillo
I feel a bit silly by asking this because no one else has asked before now. Anyway, I became confused when you spoke of lowering the guide board 3". You had made 2 marks at each tread position on the guide board. How did you figure these marks?
As someone who uses AutoCAD and Revit on a daily basis I would just model it up in ten minutes and take all my measurements off that 😂
This was very helpful for a first time builder who will be doing this on a hillside that is about 100+ feet long. I have pavers that are 12×12 and plan to surround them with stone. For a long distane is it easier to make my steps longer like 18in. or even 20 or stick with the 12?
I know it’s going to take me, what is going to feel like an eternity… DYING it 🙂 💪🏾 thanks
Great video. Thankyou very much for sharing your video to us. God bless.
Thank you. Planning on doing this in the spring here in Pennsylvania!
Love the video. Are you putting 2-3 stakes onto the back of each each riser to hold them in place? Could you drill a hole in the riser and drive rebar into each one?
Thats great. Just the video was enough to get this project going. Thank you so much!
So where did you get the number 5?
This is fabulous, thanks so much for it! Do you have any suggestions on the height/width of the lumbar to use for the steps? Apologies if I missed that info in the video. Thanks so much, I am so excited to try this – especially because my area is 8’x3’!
Thank you for the video. Are there any additional steps that need to be considered if you are living in a cold climate where there is a lot of freeze/thaw? I live in Ontario, Canada. Thanks
Very helpful 👌
How long is the wood? We know the width but what’s the length?
Thanks for clarifying the details of planning the stairs instead of just digging and hoping you get it right!
Thanks very much for the insight. I've built similar before but this is dug out wilderness at the back of the garden at the mother in law's house. Big slope and you gave me some good pointers to make it happen without a shit load of 'how to measure. I've to properly investigate what kind of ground I'm up against but this was very helpful. Thank you 🤙
