Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure to decide what length stair I need?
If you are looking at our aluminum stairs, a few simple measurements can help determine the recommended length of stairs for your particular site. You will need to determine horizontal run and vertical rise. See below for steps on how to do this.
For our custom steel stairs and hillside trams, please contact us to discuss your options and possible schedule a site visit.
Measuring for Aluminum Stairs
Determine horizontal run and vertical rise.
Step 1: Measure the horizontal run, which is the distance (horizontally) from where the stairs would start and end. This can be done with a board (or something flat), a level and a tape measure (or string).
Step 2: Measure the vertical rise, which is the vertical distance from where the stairs would end, vertically up to the height at which they would start.
Determine which size stairs will work for your site
Refer to the rise distance on our chart to determine which stairs will work for your site.
For example: If you determined you have a 6-foot rise and 10-foot run, start with the 6-foot rise under each rise column (minimum and maximum) on our chart. Our 8, 10 or 12-step stairs would work for your site. The 8-step stairs would be the “steepest” and the 12-step stairs would be the “shallowest”. The sweet spot would be the 10-step stairs.
