I tore down a deck behind my house and plan to put in a paved patio in it’s place. First, I need to put in some stairs from the back door. I’ve looked around for the best way to do this but can only find a few instructional videos. Some have the stair supported by posts concreted into the ground. Others just show connecting to the house with the bottoms resting on the ground.
I think I want to extend the stairs from the left side of the door (left from looking outside), all the way to the wall on the right. That’s would be about 60” wide. I know I need 4 stringers. Do I need railings on both sides? Do I need posts cemented into the ground? Do I need a landing or can I just start the steps right outside the door?
Any help is appreciated!
