Step-by-step instruction
1. In order for a wooden ladder to be successfully installed, it is necessary to calculate its slope, which can be from 25 to 40 degrees.
2. Construction of a wooden staircase involves a preliminary calculation of its steps. Based on the maximum distance between the steps of 19 cm, the number of steps in the height of the structure is calculated. The width of the tread must be at least 25 cm.
3. The safe installation of wooden stairs requires that it be equipped with handrails of a height of at least 90 cm.
4. The site has a video on how to make a wooden staircase with your own hands. You can see the stages and workflows, and make sure that it is not difficult to do this. The material used in the instructions on the photo is pine. This tree has a beautiful, effective structure and can be easily processed. For the stairs of the stairs, pine trimming boards with a width of 400 mm and a thickness of 40 mm were used.
5. Marking the places for the installation of treads, circular saws patterned cuts depth of 10 mm. Using a chisel, an array of boards is selected between the cuts, ready-made strings are placed in the working position.
Awnings are attached by screws to the floor with a screwdriver and metal galvanized corners.
6. From a board with a width of at least 250 mm, cut out with a circular saw of the step. The thickness of the steps depends on the width of the span, but not less than 25 mm.
The ends of the steps for better connection with the string are processed by a grinder.
Connect the steps and bowstring with joinery glue, spreading the ends of the steps and grooves in the string.
7. Assembling a wooden ladder in our case requires that it be tightened by means of galvanized rods with threaded connections at the ends, on which nuts with wide gaskets are wound.
8. In this example, demonstrating the installation of a wooden ladder, the distance to the wall allows you to arrange excellent wooden shelves for things and books that are suitable for design.
The installed shelves are then ground.
In addition, the handrail must be installed to ensure safety. After installing the stand, two boards are attached to it with an upper height of not less than 90 cm relative to the steps.
9. The material of the handrails and the ladder is treated with sandpaper to eliminate chipped, hooks and splinters.
The stairs must be treated with special primers against decay and against fire, then cover with clear varnish for parquet.
