Not a carpenter but Stairs Done

[00Beau]

It nearly killed me, but got it done. Stairs are much easier than ladders to go up and down. First time ever I have stairs to a stand.

Shoot that looks good! Are you going to add handrails?

I probably will.

Looks good. Pain them heavy and toss some coarse sand onto the wet paint. Steps get very slippery with it's frosty or wet. I know from experience

 

[4HAND]

Man that's nice!

 

[Buck70]

Yep they do get slippery. Get a bag of playground sand and toss some on each step while the paint is wet.

 

[NCHillbilly]

Looks good!

 

[antharper]

[Tight Lines]

Looks good. Man I wish I was handy and could do stuff like this. Glad I keep Bubba around

This fine sand works great on top and in fiberglass resin for a near permanent solution. Then spray paint if you wanted.

Where do you get that much Fiberglass Resin from!? Sorry,Fiberglass is one area I don’t know how to work?

Any hardware store.
Seems expensive but a gallon goes a hundred miles. Those step would use a pint or two.

I tacked roofing shingles on my steps from some old left over shingles I had

Both good ideas,to avoid sliding off! OOBeau...what did you do to give each rung the strength to hold your body weight? Some kind of metal rod under each rung..or what??

 

[kmckinnie]

I’d go up that. ?

 

[kmckinnie]

Like the shingles.

2x2 under each step

I went back & studied the photo better. Good idea? Besides adding something to give GRIP..I’d pour a little old motor oil,or something on the legs where they touch the ground(to deter termites)?. “Treated” wood these days is a far cry from the old stuff & most isn’t even treated “For ground Contact”...? We make up for it by using some other deterrent/preservative.
