U-shaped stairs with winders for a 2.65 m floor height

15 risers of 17.7 cm and 14 treads 28 cm deep, at 32°. 1.00 m wide, it takes 2.10 m × 2.12 m of floor. Six winders carry it round the half turn, each taking a riser, so it needs no landing.

More or fewer steps

2.65 m (265 cm) can be climbed in fewer, higher steps or more, lower ones. Each opens in uCAD as this stair with that many risers.

Risers	Each riser	Going	Pitch	Run of a straight flight	How it walks	In uCAD

Limits differ by country: England’s Approved Document K allows a rise up to 220 mm and a pitch up to 42° in a home, Germany’s DIN 18065 up to 200 mm, and both ask for 2.0 m of headroom. Check the code that applies to yours.

What it’s made of

Drawn as it’s built, in timber with open treads: treads housed in the stringers, posts under the turns, a railing on its newels. 226 parts in all, every bolt and weld among them. Sizes in millimetres, length × width × thickness.

Closed risers, a steel frame, another width or railing: change it in uCAD, and the parts are worked out again, with a cut list of the boards to buy. Sizes of the structure are the library’s defaults for a house stair, not an engineer’s calculation for yours.
