Waterbug User ID: 1295673 United States 11/10/2012 09:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wall height is 8 feet. When cutting the stringers for a staircase, there are codes that must be followed. Here, it is a rise of no more than 7.75 per step. The variable between the rise of the first step and the last can be no more than 3/8 inch. Usually the general rule is 7.5 rise by 10 inch run. Depends on the floor finish. Do the math. |

Then demanding a landing and a turn in the wrong place... Grrr. |

Bluebird User ID: 730536 United States 11/10/2012 10:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mine has 17. But I don't have 8 ft ceiling, it's higher but I don't know the height. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

I have no issue with the number 13 either. so why is the wall 8ft and the rise no more than 7.75? why not 8.5ft and 7.5 rise? |

You could use any size of anything but the different materials must match dimensions, ultimately. The rise and run have to do with ease of climbing and balance. The 1.5 inch overhang on treads is also for balance. 13 is merely a number. One more than twelve.. one less than 14. The 7/10 rise/run standard for humans is uncomfortable for reptilians... If you get chased by one, find and run up a flight of stairs and you will lose him in the dust. Kind the opposite of running from a bear. Run downhill from a bear.. he has no brakes going downhill. At the last moment.. dodge sideways and the bear will keep going till he hits the bottom.. By then you can distance yourself from the bear or from your slower friends, at least. Hope this helps.. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27244947 Dude, get over it, it all depends on the distance from one floor to the next. 8' is average height, with a standard set for treadway. Because it works out to average of 13 steps is not a fucking conspiracy. Goddamn! |
