Crackin job all round🤝🏾 from the stair installation right down to the camera work and editing.. The attention to detail is very apparent, keep up the good work mate
What carries the weight? I see that it is fixed to walls only on 1 side. The other side is floating. There is no pole or cloumn supporting the stairs and sitting on the floor. The side beam at the open side starts from the upper floor, but it does not reach the bottom floor. It is floating at the turn and it is connected to the bottom side beam (sitting on floor) with a floating vertical pole. The whole weight of the stairs are on the nails or glue connecting these 3 pieces. It does not seem strong.
Great work! Thinking of doing a very similar design. What pitch were the stairs in the end? Do you ever come across problems getting permission for a pitch above 42 degrees?
The pitch of the stairs are set out by the regs so we have to stay in that range. But we use a stair company to design all our stairs. To make them bespoke to each builds needs.
Yes we use though different options. Timber locks are good for timber to timber. Or long normal screws if in to metal stud work. Or coach bolts for brick work.
Hi Dan I noticed a steel box beam upright in this loft was this specified due to span of the ridge beam ? I’m a chippy and I just find that sometimes we get so much steel thrown into these lofts. Cheers mate
Yeah this one had a metal post spec for the ridge beam. Also yeah defo more steel used now days. But thankfully our engineer try’s to work with us to give us best options

You drilled holes to find the studs, but what kind of screws did you use? Did they go through the wood plus the studs and into the wall?
Yes we use though different options.
Timber locks are good for timber to timber.
Or long normal screws if in to metal stud work.
Or coach bolts for brick work.

Dan how come they don't need a fire door either bottom or top of stairs? I thought it was building regs?
Yes you typically do. This one has double doors at the top.
do a video on stairs please
