Building garage stairs can be a challenging task, but it can be done with the right tools and materials. To begin, measure your stairs and remove any existing trim around the old steps. Then, prepare the stair space by using a pry bar to remove any existing trim around the old steps. Cut out the base shin Rievley, assemble the base shin Rievley, secure in place, attach the stair tread, and complete the project.
To build stairs with a landing, relocate the garage for more length and storage. Measure the total rise and take necessary safety precautions. Start by cutting the stringers, which are pieces of wood that run diagonally under the stairs and hold them up. Install the stringers to the garage.
To transform your garage stairs into an aesthetically pleasing and functional feature, follow these step-by-step instructions and take necessary safety precautions. Materials needed include a 4×8 sheet of 1/2″ plywood, 2×4 x 6′ pine boards, 1×4 x 6′ pine boards, 11-1/4″ stair tread, 1″ wood screws, and 2-1/4″ wood screws. The maximum rise of steps is 8″, and the minimum tread depth is 9″.
In summary, building garage stairs can be a rewarding and functional project with the right knowledge and skills.

Ken, I want to give a ‘shout out’ to those saw horses. I thought there was a Youtube rule making it mandatory for carpenters to balance lumber across their leg, hold it with their other hand or clench it between their teeth before they cut it wildly with a circular saw. 😉 I hope everyone notices how much #easier it is for a left-hander to use your basic ‘right-handed’ sidewinder saw.
I’m also a carpenter and my name is Ken! What a coincidence. Question, you used a framing nailer for the landing and screws for the treads so I am assuming you did that to eliminate squeaks? We typically screw everything together and rarely use nails in case a mistake or something changes, we can just unscrew it to change it if need be. To clarify we use an air nailer for sheathing to save time but screws for “technical” stuff like what you were doing. Love the website and the pricing updates.
Makita 5007. I have been using for years. Just got a new one. Old one wore out. Left handed carpenter using a worm drive? No thanks. Sidewinder is just an extension of my left hand. I knew there was something good going on with this website. Used a Makita 16″ beam saw today to cut off 6×10 treated posts for pole building storage at the home of good friends I built 27 years ago. Nice to be back at the place. Good stuff you show. Thanks.
Nice article! You made it look easy. I never realized you could do the stair treads like that with blocks on the side stringers instead of notching them. I plan to build a landing outside two of my back doors just to make it a bit safer to step out & to have a loading/unloading area. I’ll be able to back my truck up to the landing so things will be easier. I’m thinking of installing a ramp as well.
