Height and width Adjustable Stairs / Code info:
Height: The top step/tread in any staircase can be level with the top floor/level, as long as it is as wide as the top floor/level opening. All Fast-Stairs starter 4 and 10 step models come with height adjustable every steel top hook straps which allow for one extra stair riser. Most building codes allow a 2 slope AND a variance between any riser heights, thus allowing a combined 2 to 3 additional adjustment up or down on full size stairs. Using the included extra riser top hook straps does not change the horizontal run. Thus the two sets of achievable height measurements per model, with the same horizontal run, shown on our Models Prices Catalog page See our stair stringer selection.
Width: Measure and/or determine the width of your stairs and cut same size step/tread you choose from 2x s to the best hardwood and other fine stair finish products you ll find locally to screw onto the perforated step supports. All step/tread materials you add to your Fast-Stairs stringers must comply with the materials load capacity.

Wood stairs utilize thick stair treads for stability. These hardwood treads can be between 1 1/2 to 2 inches in thickness. When wood is cut this thick, it can split due to humidity changes. Once a stair tread is split or cracked, you can t glue it back together. It has to be patched. Typical wood dough or filler won t work; it s not strong enough. Do what the professionals do. Use a thin piece of wood inserted into the crack with glue Also known as a Dutchman, this patching technique for hardwood is almost invisible.
Things You Will Need
Oak board, 1 1/4-by-2-by-24 inches
Jigsaw
Hand block
100-grit sandpaper
White wood glue
Hammer
Putty knife
Wood dough
Danish oil
Tip
For odd-shaped cracks or cracks that do not run consistently, you can use two different sizes of wood strips to fill them. Customize the strips any way needed to fit cracks. Cut more strips as needed.
Warning
Wear safety glasses when working with wood.
