A reliable, comfortable and inexpensive staircase from the tree will turn out if it is properly designed and performed with knowledge.

How to calculate the stairs

Comfortable for movement is considered to be a staircase with a slope of less than 40 °, with steps height in 150-200 and a width of 250-300 mm. Considering these values, the parameters of the wooden structure produce calculation:

  • Determine the number of steps (K) by the formula: K \u003d S / 175, where S is the distance between the floors of the floors, 175 mm is the average height of the attacks. Really steps goes one less risers, as the latter will be already half the next floor.
  • Calculated the width of the steps: divide the length of the staircase march on the number of steps. When the obtained value does not fit in the range of 250-300 mm, select the values, looking for a convenient option. For example, reduce the height of the risers, increasing their number.

The width of the staircase is not rigidly limited, but the minimum possible is 80 cm, and convenient for furniture transfer - up to 150 cm.

How to makeholds

The construction of the carrier elements of the stairs is beginning with the preparation of a template that allows you to determine the size of the billets and avoid errors. At Watman paint an estimated theater and apply the location of those valuable steps and pipes. Specifying the drawing of the width of the part, choose suitable boards and carry dimensions from the template. At the marks, they perform the cutting depth to ½ thickness of the workpiece using a manual or circular saw. Then the chisel remove excess wood.

How to prepare steps

In order not to get confused, the steps cut down along the length and the corresponding grooves in the assets. I try to insert the item in "Your" place if it enters tight - they are filmed a chamfer, if the discrepancy is large - the nest is cut. In the inner part of the steps make grooves For topjects depth of 10-15 mm, hiding the slots between the elements and the hardening design.

How to collect marches

The first staircase partitions are first mounted, which is installed on reliable pillars or on mortgage elements in the wall. The assembly of small staircases is performed on the floor and fix it in the finished form. Wide and massive structures are collected in place, attaching first to the overlaps of the boosters and the tents, then installing the steps starting from the bottom. To connect the billets, the march is used, self-tapping screws and various brackets, ensuring the bonding of each element with several adjacent parts.

How to install railing

Installation of the fence of the inter-staircase starts with the placement of the balusne below and at the top of the march. Vertical parts are usually fixed with steel studs or by means of groove compounds, and sometimes with the help of special clamps are fixed to the ends of the steps. Between the main columns of the fence, intermediate racks, often perform a decorative role. On the aligned and curved under the desired angle of balasits placed handrails. Having completed installation staircase railing, swelling irregularities, pollute the surfaces and begin to decorate wood with toning and varnishing.

Deciding independently to make a staircase from wood, you should think about and attaching your capabilities. It is possible that it will be more expedient to stay on the purchase of ready-made elements, fitting on the place and assembly of them desired design.
