STAIR STRINGER DESIGN CALCULATOR - PROFESSIONAL
If you've ever cut a stair stringer you know what a pain it is. There are multiple measurements and dimensions to consider. It's not really all that complicated, it's just a pain. And if you decide you want to change the number of treads in your design you have to calculate everything all over again.
There are hand-held construction calculators for this, but they cost much more, don't show you a picture, don't figure out and correct for upperdeck overhang, and you usually can't print out the final design. For less than the price of a ruined 2x12 you can save yourself several hours of 'head scratching' and drawing on graph paper and get it right the first time with this specialty spreadsheet for stair building and basic wood stairs, such as basement stairs and deck stairs.
