These
new brackets are to be nailed or screwed on to 2x4 cleats
for composite tread support. These cleats are then positioned
every 16"-20"(inches)apart for tread support. The
spacing of the cleats depends on thickness of composite being
used. For instance,
1 1/4" composite requires a cleat every 16" and
1 1/2" composite will require a cleat every 20".
This 'new' EZ-Stairs solution for composite compatibility
is getting high marks from professional deck builders in the
US and Canada. With these new cleat brackets attached to 2x4
blocking, composite deck stairs can be built up to 7'wide
with only 2 outside stringers! Normal composite construction,
at just 4' feet wide, would require at least 4 saw tooth cut
stringers. Compare this to the new EZ-Stairs solution of only
2 outside stringers and a maximum of only 6-8 cuts for both
stringers. It's easy to do the math......with EZ-Stairs your
labor is cut in 1/2!!! |
