The stair
tread angle bracket, in the picture above, is still
positioned in the center of the stair tread, but I’m
pointing to another pencil mark that I made. I'm going
to move the stair tread bracket a half inch forward.
This will
reduce the possibility of the front of the 2 x 12 stair
tread splitting off, simply because it wasn't supported
properly. They sell longer brackets and I would recommend
using them, if you can find them. The only reason why
I used the 8 1/4 inch stair brackets was because my local
home improvement center didn't carry the 10 1/4 inch
brackets.
Since I'm
not a structural engineer and this book only provides
you with stair building basics. You should check
with a local engineer or building contractor for more
information about stairway structural building
components, like stair stringers and other lumber
dimensions and tread bracket sizes.
Remember,
this book only provides you with basic stair building
information. The dimensions and sizes of building
materials will change, depending upon each different
individual stairway.
