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 half.
