Hey guys,

I never made a stair before in my live, but we need on in our office, so I thought [Tone Loc mode] Lets do it [/Tone Loc mode]
Simple but hopefully effective

It's nothing special really but I wanted to show you anyway

ok... don't know where this is going but you may have some structural issues based on your design... if you post more info we may be able to help...

Yep, thats a stair

Lets see a rough fasade to attach it too !

Thanks guys for your reply!

Hi x_site,

Cheers for that! at first glance do you see any problem area's? if so I'll post some close-ups
The stairs will be mounted to a wall, and halfway it will also be mounted to the sealing (a heavy steal "H" beam) using a 10mm rod.

The top plate has a flange that will be mounted directly on the floor, and the studs will rest on a multiplex plate.

The steps will be 5MM tear plate and the construction will be completely welded as one piece.

Hi pwrdesign,

Will do I'll model the facade as well!!

Isnt that from Solidworks?
I use SW 2007 and I would like to post some of my renderings,
but I dont know if I´m allowed... Highly classified s**t

Hi naikku,

Yes it's modelled in Solid-Works, but rendered via Rhino at this time.
I just exported as IGS and imported into Rhino, that's it

this stairs is designed for athletes. I think he must not be very confortable, but good for health if you use it several time a day.

Yes, it's very steep, but maybe there's no more room to place it. I imagine some going down backwards.

I would add another handrail on the wall side if it is going to be so steep.

what's the width/height of the steps?
the stair doesn't seem to be sooo steap
to me. one handrail should be enough I guess.

you may want to 'triangulate' the support frame fixed to the wall it will give you more stability.... otherwise there's much more tension on the two elements and where they are fixed back to the frame...

With that structure you gave support to the right stringer (as you climb) but not to the left one unless it is attached to the wall somehow. If the left stringer is attached to the wall at the top frame I think it would be enough.
