Now available in 304 Stainless steel for severe weather environments as well as the standard powder coated steel, the EZ Stair system uses adjustable pairs of brackets for each tread to eliminate notching stringers and to ensure accurate spacing. Reusable spacers set the rise and run on parallel 2 x 6’s or 2 x 8’s for each stringer. Stairs up to 7 feet (exterior) and 9 feet (interior) wide can be built with just two stringers. Both powder-coated and Stainless steel brackets are compatible with man-made or ACQ treated lumber. EZ Stair meets the Universal Building Code uniform load requirements and is ICC-ES approved (ER-6161). Consult your local building inspectors before use. Order screws separately. Imported.

Compare EZ Stairs® to Conventional Construction

Deck stairs are in most cases unpredictable because they are required to either end at an uneven grade line, landing or another deck level. This, in most cases, eliminates the use of pre-cut stringers, and you are left with two main alternatives: multiple custom cut stringers to form a stair, or the EZ Stair® construction. Both methods produce custom stairs appropriate for wood, composite and vinyl. EZ Stairs® is also appropriate for steel, aluminum and concrete stairs. For comparison, consider a stair 48” wide and 7 risers high.

EZ Stairs® is faster, stronger and more cost efficient. The patented self adjusting brackets make the stair building process easy. The brackets are approved as joist hangers, allowing the risers to carry the load across the stair. This eliminates the need of center stringers for stairs up to 7’wide in stair construction.
