A beautiful and comfortable spiral staircase to the second floor can be made independently of any materials. But the most practical ones can be considered special sets of metal supports, handrails and wooden steps. The ladder is strong enough and suitable for organizing the transition to the attic or attic floor. The production of a compact interior element with proper preparation will take no more than one day.

Drawing of a spiral staircase
Mounting of a support part
Installation of a supporting structure starts from the top. And that the spiral staircase to the second floor, made by hand, was perfectly even, you need to attach the first support element using the building level. Any misalignment can lead to unreliable construction.
The next part of the support is inserted from the bottom to the already fixed part of the upper support. After that, it is leveled and fixed with screws.
It is important to take into account the height between the steps and follow the same indicator when assembling in the future. Starting with the 3rd element, the design should shift to the side.
And when the metal support part is assembled in half, it is necessary to install rails or other supports under some of its parts, as shown in the photo. Hard fixation of the support will be achieved only when attached to the floor.
The last metal fastening under the step is also aligned with the previous one. Markings are put under the support, screwed to the floor.
In the flooring, holes for the dowels are drilled. After attaching the element, the connection to the lower support is performed.
Plastic plugs are installed on all exposed metal parts.
Installation of steps and railings
To understand how to make a spiral staircase with your own hands, you need to carefully study the instructions, make precise measurements and firmly connect all parts. The steps are fastened in such a way that the lifting lugs are staggered.
Initially, the boards are marked with the screws. For ease of operation, holes are pre-drilled in each stage. This will allow them to be quickly and smoothly screwed to the support structure.
The final step of the assembly will be the installation of the handrail. The first is a U-shaped metal element.
For this, the marks for fastening are placed on the upper step.
The first part of the railing is worn with an adapter, to which the next component will be attached. When the mounts are fixed, they insert a metal arc with an adapter and tighten with screws.
Correct manufacture of a spiral staircase implies not only an accurate mark of the arrangement of the handrail, but also their reliable fixation. Because this element is responsible for the safety of lifting and descending the spiral staircase.
The fastening for all other parts of the handrail is also pre-marked on the steps. It is important to consider the location of the adapter, to which the element must be firmly screwed.
Two points of connection will ensure the integrity of the structure. A detailed video of the installation of the spiral staircase will allow you to understand the nuances of correctly fixing the handrail.
The height of the railing of such a ladder should not be less than 90 cm. The width of the steps varies from 50 to 70 cm.
The given indicators are sufficient to provide ease of use and sufficient rigidity of the structure. Additional drawings will allow you to do the work correctly and equip your house with a compact and sturdy spiral staircase.
