“The same way people put their heart and soul into the inside of their homes they can now do the same thing in their backyard living space. And what’s great is that Trex helps so much cause they can carry you through this entire process. You can start the project with Trex and end the project with Trex.”
Pro Tip
Measure stairway from the bottom to the top
Always measure at the end of the stairway instead of up against the deck as the ground may slope away from the deck and give a different measurement the further the stairs go away from the deck.
Pro Tip
Use a metal stake for tough soil
For harder soils (rocky, clay soil, etc.), a metal stake may be easier to drive into the ground
Pro Tip
Use a 4x4 to ensure even spacing
To make sure the space stays even for the newel post to slide into, place a small piece of 4x4 in between the stringers to hold the spacing while the fasteners are attached.
