Stairs to the attic with his own hands - an instruction stages of creation

First of all, before the construction of the attic you need to consider how it can get.The first and only thing that can come to mind in this regard - it is a staircase (no elevator same construct).Choosing the material, calculate sizes, finding the right design solution and to be a performer can anyone who knows how to tinkering, and who have a desire to build a ladder to the attic alone.

«Stair construction are different" (Captain Obvious in).Spiral staircases can significantly save space in the room (often on them even comfortable to walk).Stairs with duck pitch more suitable for permanent use teetotal adults (steep slope is dangerous for children).Odnomarshevye, half-pace, rounded or curved at an angle - choice depends on how convenient you can adapt the design of the staircase under the existing premises.

Inexpensive wooden staircase to the attic with his own hands (odnomarshevy option)

So, there is a room with a hole already prepared for the stairs (in the attic, for example).And what do we do now?Design a ladder!Inexpensive and easy to serve material handling solid wood: oak, alder, pine.With wood in construction can do anything.Designing requires at volunteered to build a ladder master the skills of drawing, mathematics and engineering.If those are not available, it is best to seek help from knowledgeable people - experts in the field.When the project is completed, the work will not turn into a wolf.First you need to buy all the necessary tools and materials.Then engage the workpiece parts for future designs.It is best to follow the principle of "look before you leap" - in fact it's not even a chair, a ladder!If accurate calculation in this matter, and prevent, it is only a dream.

What tools require little more

:

• wooden beams;
• quality nails;
• screws;
• bolts;
• nuts;
• washers;
• glue for wood;
• paint;
• varnish (stain).

Tools:

• Saw;
• hammer;
• screwdriver;
• file;
• drill;
• wrenches;
• pliers;
• brush for painting works;
• belay device.

Step 1. Supports

Two large wooden beams is quite cope with the task of "foundation" of the stairs.If lying parallel bars lie at an angle of 30-40 degrees, has an equal distance apart from one another and from the end - fasten.According to preliminary calculations on the bars should be saw cut, so they can be ethical and secure the bottom and the top.For durable and reliable bonding large nails will approach the bottom, which will be driven into the floor (not the best) or deliberately driven into the bar, which will serve as a "pillar of support".The second option involves fastening straps to the floor with nails, screws or bolts.The upper part of the beams can bond with the opening of the attic floor a few bars on the same technology, or come up with a way to side mount, for example, on the one hand to the ceiling aperture, and the second to the wall.On how to be mounted securely support will depend on the safe use of her people.

Step 2. Steps

wooden beams - is original, is not it?Their thickness should be not less than 3 cm The method of installation will depend on the recesses provided on the supports:. Internal or external.For internal installation steps will be incorporated into the skeleton of the stairs, so that at their fastening can not particularly work - one screws on each side is enough.The external imposition of steps to support requires careful and accurate "prisobachivaniya".The adhesive can be a good companion for both methods.Pass-through or closed ladder - a matter of taste.Outdoor variant does not require the purchase of additional boards, however, such a helluva lot of stairs do not run - can unintentionally please foot in the hole where there is no beam.Set bars to close the through-holes of ladders, easy - just hold them together with screws or nails to the flat surfaces of the steps below, and their top edges.

Step 3. Railing

If the staircase is located at the wall (in most cases it is), then spend on a railing a lot of time and effort is not necessary.However, for the wasteful stairs is a simple and inexpensive solution.In business there are all of the same multi-function boards.A timber must be installed on the base of the stairs to the ceiling.Sami railings can be done in a number of several boards, fixing them to the vertical below the beam, and the top to the ceiling aperture (like that everything is connected).

We must not forget about security and above.To no one crashed into the stairwell, you must provide the fence (rails!).The height of the railing and fencing, it is desirable not to understate, 90 cm - is the minimum.

Step 4. Finishing

Painting works best to start with the top of the stairs.The molar welcomed the thorough pre-treatment timber.Also, do not forget to check whether all secured.Varnish, paint, varnish or stain with lacquer - a choice only for the owner of the stairs.We treat the dry and waiting.

four short steps and voila!Now you can do any number of steps on the new stairs.
