Stair stringer backer board how to 

Building decks for 2yrs without a palm nailer just got one and can't believe I use to hammer in the hangers lol

Hard to believe that's all you need to attach the stringers. And why are the stringers so low to the deck? There is only a few inches butted against the deck. I just assumed it should be the entire length of the stringer. This way, you don't need the backer board. Would that be true?

I like it but structurally is that code? I’ve watched other videos and they pour footings for 4x4 posts to attach a header board to mount their stair stringers to

they have hangers for those too

Dang, leaving the assembly open to a LOT of movement this way.

I don’t see the necessity to cut the angles. Thanks for sharing!

we always build our stringer to go up to the 2x10

You should mention to use number 10 nails when using the hanger plate

😉👍

I just can't see how that helps much.

Nahhh

Wrong.

Anyone in the mood to go gay night clubbing?
