Another Easy How To Build Stairway - Double Box Decking Stairs 

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking at what I should do after I took out my deck and replaced it with a patio, this is perfect! I’m going to use composite decking, I think, and still need to figure out how to attach it to the ground but this step design is going to help a ton, thank you!!

Thanks, did this yesterday. Perfect for steps up to a porch after we removed an old deck!

I am going build my laundry steps. Its 1 meter drop and I need a platform 800x800mm as per Council requirement. Surely, your video will help alot. Thanks mate.

FANTASTIC! Thank you, giving this a go tomorrow 👍🏼

Thanks again. Saved me a lot of time.

Easy enough, Thanks for the video!

Excellent job explaining the project!

Great tutorial Greg. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Greg!!! My question is I'm building this on a concrete slab that isn't perfectly level. Any tips on bracing the first layer on an unlevel slab of concrete? Shims maybe? Thanks again!

exactly what I was looking for ....thnx man

What is your take on box stairs with a mitered picture-frame for each tread (as per usual) but with the in-fill boards running perpendicular to the risers. Weird to explain what I'm trying to accomplish.....but I have a whole bunch of short off-cuts from my main decking composite boards and I have a few long pieces from the decking picture-frame (different color) left over. In order to not waste the little off-cuts and not have to buy more boards, I'm picturing building a box style support for the three steps I need. I would then picture-frame each step like is normally done with mitered corners, etc. But for the in-fill, I don't have any long pieces of main decking color left, just the offcuts, like I mentioned. So I want to just use the off-cuts running perpendicular to the steps.....ie as if the main decking continued out past the deck picture frame and spilled out onto each step. Not sure if that makes sense. I tried googling that look but cannot find anything similar. I'd appreciate any input. Thank you!

thanks it looks easy and pretty, I am going to build one !

Love the simplicity and look! I'm curious though... it would be easy enough to add a 3rd box (7 x 5) if additional height were needed. Do you have a suggestion for how one might add a hand rail if having 3 levels, which I believe would be required by code? Or wouldn't it make sense to use this design for 3 steps if doing so required a hand railing?

thanks Greg!

There is a 12" drop between my home and the outside concrete, can I make a single 6" step or a double 6" step like the video, or maybe a double 5 1/2" step so there is a final 1" step to prevent water from entering the home??

Will this work building a composite box on top of composite decking. If not, what do you recommend ?

Is there a supply list anywhere for this example? I would really like to try and build this. Thank you

Could I use a different material on top for the decking? For example - the 5/4x6 Deck boards that I used for the rest of the deck? Thanks

How much lumber do I need to build this project ?

Does the top box have to be that big if the door swings inward? Say even if it is 2 inches below the threshold? Do injectors count that 2 inches as a rise?

Could I use this for a door way that is 27 inches from the ground?

Would you also need to attach to house?

As far as dirt, leaves, debris falling into the box(es), couldn't you just staple some landscape fabric down on top of boxes before fastening top decking on?

Instead of having the bottom box bigger can I make it the same size of the top box and then just make an extra step in the front?

This is somthing I think I can do

Listening at 1.5 speed it sounds like Jordan Peterson the builder

This wouldn't meet code. There is not a consistent height between the risers. The last step into the house. Don't think stakes would pass the inspection for securing the stairs where it meets grade. Also, a stable landing is required. A grass or gravel surface usually doesn't meet the inspector's approval
