VerifiedHello. I can help. Can you attach a sketch of what you intend to do?
Customer replied 4 years ago
I've attached a image of what I'm working on. My question is instead of having to build 5 strings to span a 60" stair what spec of Angled Steel would I need to build stairs that only have stringers on either side?I plan to use 10" x 2" x 60" pressure treated wood for the stairs.Thankshttp://www.speedymetals.com/c-8254-angle.aspx
