What's your preference, cut stringers from 2x12's or stringers with cleats added made of 2x8 or 2x10's ? I can layout and cut stringers so that's not a problem. Have seen several others use the smaller boards to make stringers with cleats added. I personally like the cut 2x12's but if I can save some money that would be a bonus.
If you use the stringers with cleats, what's the widest width you feel comfortable spanning with 2x lumber ?
Have several stands that are due for maintenance as soon as season ends.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

After a quick Google session I’ve found it’s open vs closed stringers. Still want the Aldeer collective opinion. I trust our eggspurts over Google

Mine are 2X12 cut stringers. The stringers are about 26" centers. The treads are 32" , 32" is good as you get 3 out of an 8' board, 0 waste . These are about 20 years old and I redid them this summer and put up a new hand rail. I cut the treads at home in my shop with a big miter saw . The old treads were nailed with galvanized nails , the stringers had splits in them so I added scabs on the inside and went back with deck screws. Also with the scabs I ran them out where the tread doesn't overhang now. I have had the edge break because there's a couple of inch overhang that's un supported . ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/sDgC0tWK/Shooting-house-steps.jpg) screen shot windows 7![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/GmBwbGqy/Shooting-house-bracing.jpg) Looks like a broken leg on an icy morning waiting to happen How so? No body has ever broken a leg on mine , icy or otherwise and I have 3 total just like the one pictured. I survived Saturday afternoon and it was icy, that's what the hand rail is for.

They range in height from 4 feet to 10 feet and all have 2x4 handrails. To prevent broken legs, I tack down some tabs off cheap shingles on each tread. The shingles are much cheaper than the no-slip safety strips and work like a charm, even with muddy boots.
