DIYHD Steel Stair Riser 7 Step Stair Stringer for Deck Height 58in,Powder Coated Black,MAX Load Capacity:500lbs,2pcs

I’m still finishing up my stairs, but one thing became clear after installing the first pair of these DIYHD metal stringers: two alone were going to be a bit bouncy. Rather than adding a mid-span support post—which would block access to the storage space under the deck—I ordered two more stringers to stiffen the run. That solved the issue and kept the underside completely open. The stringers themselves are strong, well made, and feel high quality. The factory finish has held up well so far, with no visible chipping or rust. Installation is dramatically easier than cutting traditional wood stringers, and as a bonus you get that clean, modern floating stair look. Compared to precut wood stringers, these are a great value. They’re bug-proof, dimensionally stable, and while steel may eventually rust, these will easily outlast wood in the same environment. Overall, a solid product and a smart solution if you want strength, durability, and a cleaner design without mid-span supports.

These stair stringers are great, and easy to install, you'll need stair treads (boards) and a large Phillips (star) driver to install

Solid They worked great to replace my wobbly wooden steps Too soon to tell if they will last but, so far, so good

Well-made, sturdy step bracket. Liked that they welded completely along the seams and did not just spot weld. Should be a safe, long life product. Would have given five stars except for the attachment hardware. Was not possible to attach the step board to the bottom using supplied Phillips head screws unless you have a right angle screw driver. They also included only Concrete bolts to secure the step, however my step was used on a wood patio deck. Instead of their hardware, I purchased 3/16 inch hex hex lag bolts to attach the step and 1/4 inch hex head lag bolts to attach the stringer to the deck. I used a socket wrench to tighten the bolts after pre-drilling pilot holes.

I really appreciate how this simplifies the creation of deck stairs. They look nice but it's tough to get all the screws in from the bottom side if that's how you want to install the boards.

I thought this was well-made and worked well for my application. Had some bounce so I installed a center in the middle of the stairs and seems very solid now probably would’ve been fine. The other way I didn’t like the bounce and the step.

These stringers worked out PERFECT for the steps my husband built at my son’s new home. I highly recommend them, easy to use and made the job less expensive!

These are sturdy and easy to attach to the structure. That's the good news. The bad? It's a terrible design! Impossible to attach the lag screws from the bottom of the most forward attachment holes. They need to have a hole through the rectangular tubing so you can but some type of bit on the screw. There is only an inch and a half and not even the tightest right angle screwdriver or attachment can fit.

Very easy to install.. feels solid and comes with all bolts to make your job go smoothly.

good stringers, but do not use self tapping screws as there no room to install. after some time I used carrage bolts

They are great! So easy to put up. They saved me so much time and frustration. When all you need to do is add the treads what could have been an all day or even all weekend project took less than 2 hours.

Excellent

Very sturdy, easy to use.
