How to build deck steps without stringers?
1) Determine the overall length and width of the first step frame. The largest step frame will be on the bottom. 2) Once all boards are cut, mark your long frame boards at 16” on center for the bracing. 3) Attach remaining bracers into the frame by nailing or screwing through the 2×6 frame and into each bracing board. 4) Subtract the length of a single stair from the overall length of the last frame. This will be the length of your second stair. 5) First attach the two ends inside the 48” front and back pieces to create the outer frame. Next, fasten the remaining two inside bracers into position. 6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all remaining step frames. 7) There are two ways to fasten the box steps together.
