First preparations

The first step is to make a calculation of the number of steps in order to fit into a certain part of the building. On this depends the convenience of movement on the stairs. For a standard step height, 17 cm is used for lifting. The width must be at least one meter. Also consider embedded items for future railings.

Material

For the preparation of concrete take: cement (1 part), crushed stone with a grain size of 10-20 mm (3h.), Sand (2h.), Water (0.7h.). If the concrete is thick, you can add some more water.

To make a formwork, a construction bar of 10x10 cm, waterproof plywood with a cross section of 2 cm or a cut board of 3 cm, fittings, and a metal corner are acquired. The fastening of the wooden structure is 3.5 cm self-tapping screws, which are conveniently removed during dismantling.

Decking is a box into which concrete is poured. It is built right on the construction site. The best material to use is wood. After hardening the solution is easily removed. The width of the boards should be equal to the height of the steps. Perpendicular to the base of the stairs with special fastenings to the support are installed props.

It should be remembered that the stairs made of concrete are heavy, which means that the supports must be massive and durable.

Formwork boards are additionally fixed with a longitudinal plate to avoid deflection when pouring concrete. The whole structure is assembled by self-tapping screws, so that it can be easily disassembled after operation. If the use of formwork will continue, it is recommended to protect the tree with waterproofing material: alkyd varnish (painting), roofing material, asphalt, oilcloth, old linoleum. This is done to prevent the boards from deforming when the concrete solution is in contact with the water.

To strengthen the staircase make the frame of metal rods. It is laid along the bearing faces and connected by welding at a distance of 3 cm from the formwork to the reinforcement. To attach the iron assembly to the wall, pins are driven into it.

Types of staircase designs

Of all the designs, you can select the main types:

• screw - has the form of a spiral, swirling in the center;
• swivel - marches can be positioned to each other at an angle of 90^about and 100^about;
• the straight line is the most convenient for climbing; they do not make much physical expenses for climbing, but they occupy a large amount of usable area.

Pouring concrete

First, prepare the concrete mix. Before pouring in the formwork from the side where there will be handrails, put wooden plugs or iron pins for further fastening. Then they start pouring concrete into the formwork boxes. So that the edges of the steps during the operation do not crumble, a metal corner is welded to them.

Fill should occur at one time to avoid flaking.

After filling the formwork, the solution must be tamped and leveled. Only after the final drying of the concrete begin to dismantle the wooden form and walk the stairs.
