I'm impressed. That was a fine result for a steep staircase.

I need to build a set of these for a client who wants to replace a set of pull down attic stairs. I built one much like this about 20 years ago, but with a little bigger footprint...32" wide with about a 50" +/- run to replace a loft ladder. I also used bigger timbers to match the style of the home. My memory is a little fuzzy on how I layed them out. In my 40+ years as a carpenter, I've built hundreds of sets of stairs, but only one set of alternating step stairs. Thanks for the video.

Both the width and the style looks like something they'd have installed on the Titanic. Maybe something in Officers Only, where it's as cramped as third class but still expected to be fancy. There's a game called Project 401 if you want to see what I mean.

Looks like a cute, quirky book shelf🥴 I'll stick with a standard ladder, gotta feel kinda odd to hammer or paint something on a non parallel footing 🤔

This type of stair is used in tiny houses and cabins. It’s not made to use a ladder that a painter would use on a jobsite.

Good thoughts! My clients think these stairs are more user-friendly than any type of ladder. most users face forward when they descend these stairs. When descending a ladder, most people face backwards. I have a copy of a study that has been done where users rate alternating-tread stairs as more user-friendly than spiral stairs.

Good thoughts! No doubt, a conventional stair is always preferred if there is room for it. But when there’s not room, alternating stairs are a great option.

Hello, Can you tell me what the minimum distance you need from the front of the base of the alternating stairs to a wall in front of it? Thank you.
@TopTreadStairways

The overall run of this stair is 42 inches. This is the code-compliant minimum for a 10-riser space saving Stair. Extending this to 50 inches would make it much easier to climb.

Thank you for the reply, but maybe I wasn't clear. If you are standing at the base of the stairs about to climb it, how much space is required from the base of the stairs in front of your toes, to an obstruction behind you like a wall, door, or piece of furniture? Thanks again.

As you might guess, walking down is a bit harder than walking up. But after you do it a few times it gets much easier.
