2-Step Pressure-Treated Cedar-Tone Pine Stair Stringer

Hi Kevin, That will have to be a special order. Please call your preferred Home Depot store for pricing. You could also hire a local builder to build a stringer/staircase for you as he or she will be familiar with the codes for your area.

Mimi, If you are looking for pressure-treated stringers that will accommodate that number of steps, you will have to call your nearest Home Depot location to inquire about a special order as stringers of this size are not a stocked item. Alternatively, you could have a local builder construct them as he or she would be familiar with building code requirements (for the stairs) in your area.

Hi Brutus, The stringer is just a single one. Seems like you'll have to buy at least one more, possibly two, depending on how wide your stairs are. Best of luck with that building project.

Not from HD.

Yes, Buying six foot stringers should reach a six foot landing!

In short, YES you can cut off any extra step material that will not be used in your design. But, the next question to be asked is what end, top or bottom, should be cut off? Answer is, the bottom of the stringer! Why oi may ask? It is assumed that your stringer top is going to attach to a perfectly horizontal floor. The bottom step, depending on the installation location, indoors or out, has no such guarantee. That bottom step should be cut according to the topography of that area. Hope this helps and Good Luck!

Sam, There is no issue using this pressure-treated stair stringer for your basement stairs.

Krem, The stringers are structural for the intended application and intended to be used a certain way, in addition to being treated wood. Dimensionally, our product is 1.5” thick, where stair skirting is .75” and non-treated. The dimensions on the stair stringer may not match the inverse dimensions needed for the skirting, depending on the step materials being used and the rise/run dimensions of their existing stairs.

Dwayne, We checked with our expert on this, and received a bit of math fun: 12’ tall = 144” tall. 144^2 + 144^2 = 41,472 in^2. Take the square root of the above number, and you get 203.6 inches, which equals 16.97 feet. Thus, you need to cut a stair stringer from an 18 foot long treated board; Home Depot would need to special order a 17 foot treated board for you as they do not stock that length. The 18 foot length should save you money. We hope that you found this helpful.

Rob, We would need to know more information on the gap between the floor and the top of your landing to give you an exact answer, but this 8-step stair stringer measures about 53 in.
