In this video I'm showing you how to form concrete steps. This is my simple forming technique for forming and pouring concrete steps.
Forming and pouring a set of concrete steps requires you to know your landing height and your first step height. Then you can calculate if or how many steps you need in between the two.
Most concrete step risers are between 6 and 7.5 inches. Check with your local building codes to get it accurate for your area.
This video shows me forming a set of concrete steps eight feet wide and 4 steps high. I'm forming on top of a concrete wall.
For more detailed information on building a set of concrete steps, check out The Concrete Underground link below. Inside there I have many concrete training videos including a more thorough video on concrete steps.

After doing many sets of stairs thru the years, I found that if you’re trying to save the riser forms for multiple pours, a 35°-40° rip works just a little better, bcz it’s just a little less prone to breakage when you strip the forms than a really sharp 45° angle.

Watching as an apprentice carpenter. And this is SO interesting. Definitely an area I want to explore! Thanks for the great videos and information. It's inspiring to watch.

@jonkirkwood469 3 года назад

Okay, Mike; forming steps is less intimidating than I thought it was. Chamfering the riser form seems is another one of your great tips. Thanks. I'm close to being nearly ready to starting thinking about fixing to prepare to tackle some steps I need to build. Your videos are very helpful.

Oh wow. Talk about solid!!!!! Man o man . Professional. Much respect

Nice tutorial! Just a small safety tips. Never tilt the saw blade on a table saw towards the fence. If a piece of wood gets trapped you'll get a kickback.

@01aharley 3 года назад

Did you run a string line or something similar to make sure stairs are straight across?

@doscoronitas 3 года назад

Hello, do you pull the rebar up on the stairs while you pour? It looked like the rebar was laying flat on the foam. How would the rebar add strength if its not suspended in the middle of the concrete? Im just curious. Thanks for the videos!

@Sandy-fy7oy 2 года назад

I love your videos! How deep did your stair foundation go?

@dh4094 3 года назад

Do you use air entrainment only when pouring during the fall/winter months?

@johndaniel2169 3 года назад

@ Mike day is their a video of the frost wall being formed??

@MiguelAngel-oh1ub 3 года назад

Curious if you do or have ever done stairs with a curved radius.

@geneparmesan8827 2 года назад

Hello !! What if I just want to learn how to form stairs ? Can I just choose that or do I have to get the whole program ?

@dingorun1 3 года назад

Mike, great work you do! Just a general question for you about forming the run of the stair. Do you ever slope the run downward for rain run-off? If so, 1%? Thanks for your all of your videos. I have already put your advice into my own work on projects going on at my place. This is amazing what you do!

@SteS 2 года назад

Should the rebar not get suspended (2 inches / 50mm) off the insulation so there's coverage.

@gearstil 2 года назад

hello, how did you pour the concrete so that the walls didn`t have sharp edges?

@rightreasons7908 28 дней назад

It’s better if you cut the boards on the sides into the shape of the stairs and then put the risers on and let them hang over a foot on each side that way when you’re steps get tied enough, you can pull the nails or screws out and you can see saw the risers back-and-forth and finish the face of the steps. You’re welcome.

@jordanwilson8269 3 года назад

How do you calculate concrete needed for stairs.? What is your method

@zachmiller4930 3 года назад

Thank you!

@MikeDayConcrete 3 года назад

You're welcome!

@pennsviews Год назад

Did you say air and drainage ? Can u explain how you do this ?

@johnds6621 3 года назад

Mike you formed that whole thing up yourself? Figures the boss has to work extra hard to keep things going. LOL

@Rick-tb4so 3 года назад

Great video.. Is it common in your area to make the deck the same height as the floor coming out of the house? In my area when you open the door you would be pushing snow..

@antonepeytner2030 3 года назад

Probably makes getting in the door easier for wheel chair people

@DannySauer 2 года назад

That ADA ramp on the right does imply that someone in a wheelchair might appreciate not having a big step into the building. :)

@steveg5576 3 года назад

I always wonder how you get that camfer on the top of the concrete wall ?

@psidvicious 3 года назад

It’s made with a thin strip of wood, cut on a 45° angle. If you’ve only got a few pieces to do, you can make them right on the job. But most decent sized lumber yards sell chamfer strip already milled that you can purchase for very cheap by the bundle. Chamfering the edges and corners of concrete walls does a lot for ‘dressing-up’ the final product as well as keeping the edges much less likely to chipping and breakage.

@iowamatt2519 3 года назад

Wow! Is that a cordes hammer drill? I don't run any corded tools anymore. It's great seeing all the bulldogs in the shop collecting dust.

@iowamatt2519 3 года назад

Mike If u have access to Fiberglass rebar, make the change. Switched over 4 years ago. Changed my life. Carry as much as u can stack on a truck, doesn't rust, u can drive it into the dirt and it wont draw up the rust.
