EZ Stairs is an adjustable, heavy duty steel stair bracket system, which allows you to make automatic adjustments to form any rise or run you require. You only need two stringers for deck stairs up to 7’ in width and 9' in width for interior stairs. No center stringers are needed at all because riser acts as a load-bearing joist, giving you strong stairs. Most of the saw cuts are eliminated and require only three to four cuts per stringer.

These EZ Stairs brackets not only adjust, but are also approved as ‘joist hangers’. This allows you to attach 2” thick risers that span across the stair like floor joists, every 10” or 11” between the two stringers. This eliminates the need for several center stringers running down the stair as in conventional construction. Since there are only two stringers, you also eliminate the need to align and attach several cut stringers in order to build your stair. 

The brackets also provide ‘code compliant’ rail post support. According to their accredited testing, the brackets are used to provide rail post support for any type of wood stair which meets the code requirement for 200lb. Lateral load at 42”. This has never been achieved on any wood stairs system. 

This stair building system is much simpler and faster than conventional stair building, without sacrificing structural integrity or strength. The stairs turn out so well made that you won’t even hear a squeak. They can be used for deck stairs, concrete formwork and interior stairs: basement stairs, tongue and groove stairs.
How It Works:
 
a
Set the brackets on the two 2x6 stringer members using the spacers and pivot screws. Remove spacers and rotate brackets to adjust stair height. Fix brackets in position, attach risers and treads.

Before you begin, determine the exact number of steps you need and exactly how wide you would like your steps to span. If you need additional assistance in obtaining the appropriate measurements-you can quickly link on our brochure 'Let's Get Started' section (available in English and Spanish)*

You will only need (2)2x6's per stringer/side*. Make sure when you purchase your 2x6's that you get them as straight as possible. The 2x6's will need to be at least 12" longer than the total length of your stairs. Two stringers are sufficient to span up to 9' interior and up to 7' exterior. You will only need to make a maximum of 3 to 4 cuts per stringer no matter how many steps you will be building.

For exterior risers you will use 2x8's -- for exterior treads you can use 2x12's. Utilizing additional EZ Stairs mini-composite cleat brackets you may use any 2x6 tread material wood/and or composite. Time saving tip: when you determine how many steps you will need and how wide you want to span...get all your risers and treads pre-cut to exact lengths before you begin. READ MORE.
