Drawing of stairs with staggered steps

Owners of private houses as the easiest way to connect adjacent floors more often choose ladders with zaubezhnymi steps. The fact is that such constructions are quite simple, take up a little space, besides, they look pretty beautiful. Such a wonderful staircase will become a real highlight of any interior. Moreover, it is not necessary to buy it in the building store, it is enough to find a drawing of the staircase with running steps, stock up on the necessary materials, learn how to work with a lathe and allocate a bit of your time.

What do I need to know to build a ladder?

To begin with, it is necessary to clearly define what materials and tools may be needed to make a ladder of this type. It is recommended to buy about two cubic meters of high-quality first-class wood.

Important! The dark oak is ideal for this, but it should be noted that it is quite expensive. Slightly cheaper is maple.

With allowance for turns, squats, entry steps, you need to a height of 1 meter one cubic meter of wood.

Prepare the following tools:

• Electric jig saw.
• Drill.
• Self-tapping screws.
• Screwdriver.
• Hammer.
• Roulette.
• Six pieces of quality beams.
• Handrail - better if they are metal, with wooden upholstery.

Also for work you will need a scheme of installing an interstorey staircase with running steps, which must be carefully studied.

Important! There are several additional recommendations:

• The entry step in height should be 15 cm, the rest - 12 cm.
• The first step should not be a rectangular shape, otherwise - the ladder will turn ugly. Figured details give the design finesse, style, originality.
• The height of beams is calculated according to all the known Pythagoras law.
• The resulting figure will need to add another 30 cm. During the assembly, all the extra parts can be cut.
• You'll have to mount it yourself. As a rule, it takes 2-3 steps. But if you mount straight beams with a right angle without curly twists, then the process will be greatly facilitated.

Features of the standard staircase preparation

A wooden staircase with staggered steps with its own hands can contain a large number of steps that are fixed together with self-tapping screws, mounting glue or self-tapping blocks. First, a suitable version of the design is selected, but it should not be forgotten that the wood itself needs to be processed before use.

Important! The ladder itself is divided into three parts: before the race, the race itself, the construction after it.

The following are the peculiarities of their construction:

1. The race itself should be fixed exactly in the middle, otherwise - the ladder is much faster worn out.
2. Before the installation, the calculation of the ladder is performed, the appropriate dimensions are determined.
3. If its height is about 2-3 meters, then it will take 15-20 steps. In this case, the run transition will be obtained for 8-10 steps. That is, the first straight part is formed from the first 8 steps.
4. Then the race is done. The emphasis goes here on a straight beam, which then hides under the stairs. It is important that it can withstand the maximum load, so care must be taken to ensure that it is strong.
5. Steaming steps for wooden structures are cut out to double the size of conventional rectangular steps. Then one side is cut out according to the shape of the trapezoid, the second remains the original width. Then they can be trimmed and trimmed already during the installation process. The narrow edge can be rounded with a jig saw.
6. The design with the staggered steps provides for the installation of handrails. Therefore, to choose a better metal options, which then can be sewed with wood.

Swivel staircases

The simplest form of the grouting structure is a rotary staircase with staggered steps. It's even easier to make it with your own hands, because in this case you do not need to do a lot of calculations:

• Only two parts of the most ordinary ladder will be needed.
• Depending on which particular part it will be attached to the wall, the left or right beam will be at the top of the elongated one.
• When calculating a product of this type, take into account two additional steps for the transition. Cut them in the same way, as a result of which one side becomes wider, the other - the narrower.
• At the final stage of mounting the step, it is necessary to make an oblique cut in order to fasten two risers at right angles to each other.

A more complicated process is the installation of the product with the offset steps by 180 degrees. Here it is possible to use bent plywood or to connect all parts with three separate pieces of a wooden beam. The variant with a plywood looks better, but the second is easier to mount.

Important! In both cases, all the shortcomings can be concealed by using a box made of drywall, absorbing, besides, excess moisture. In this case, you need to use not two but three steps. Immediately before the installation, it is difficult to determine the angles of the connection, so it's better to postpone it for later.

How is the staircase going to be assembled by our own hands?

As we have already learned how to make a staircase steps for wood stairs, you can proceed with the installation of the structure itself. The installation scheme looks like this:

1. All work begins with the installation of the first part of the product.
2. The beams that hold the whole structure on the weight are then mounted. As a result, three beams will be turned into three meters between the floors. You can hide them directly under it with the help of a figured thread or arrangement of a pantry.
3. Next, the support for the ceiling is mounted, because it alone can not withstand heavy structures.
4. Then steps and handrails are installed.
5. All parts are varnished, if you do not, then you will have to change them in a few years.
6. Each ladder is designed individually for each house.

What other staircases can I make myself?

There are also two-side staircases:

• It is difficult to install them, the right support plays a special role here.
• Such designs, as a rule, consist of four parts: two parts of a straight ladder, two runs.
• They are connected together by beams.
• They are installed by the letter T, that is, by means of two supports.

Important! Metal stairs, suitable only in cases where the transition between floors does not exceed two meters. In addition, they are very heavy. If you consider that you will have to mount and run, then the finished product will weigh a lot. An ordinary concrete slab can not withstand the enormous load, that is, it is necessary to mount either a large construction or use beams to hold it every 50 cm. In the first case, a huge amount of free space is lost. But after all, staircases are used to save space, so it is better to abandon metal products.

Here we are acquainted with the features of the design, construction, installation of the staircases. Their popularity, as it turned out, they really deserved, due to its multifunctionality, external originality and ease of installation. If you clearly know how to make a staircase with the runway steps with your own hands, you can supplement the house with not only a beautiful decoration element, but also a useful and really necessary detail.
