Wall Frames Up a Stairway
Hi,
Wife's been after me to install wall frames in our living room and up our short stairway. Was wondering if there are standard mitre angles for creating the boxes that go up the stairway...or if it is a case by case basis??
See attached example.
Thanks,
Richie

case by case, depending on angle/ rise & run of the stairs

Now that your question was answered I can talk about that pic.
Holy crap, I would not let my kids walk down stairs with that kinda angle.
But Peladu, I think it's just the picture is crappy.
Maybe, but I still wouldn't let them.

That funky mirror thing looks like it's not placed in the best of places.

38/52 degrees is a common angle, but you MUST measure. Use a level and one of those yellow angle finders you can get in most hardware stores.

The angles are strictly related to rise/run of the stairs. Since I always lay this stuff out on the wall to check asthetics of panel size, etc, I just bisect an angle using basic geometry, and perfect it with a few cuts on some scrap. To me, that confusion of angles at the junction of the landing/rake handrail is why there is nothing like full scale layout.
Agree with Peladu here, there is obviously no code enforcment where that stairway was built. The only place I know where anything that steep is allowed in on a boat.

So, I decided to skip my own house and test my skills on a customers house. I know, it was ballsy of me, but the end result is not too bad for a couple of painters!
Thanks for the help - it led me in the right direction!

Anyone else looking at that first pic bothered by how far out of line the rail and the panels are at the 'joint' at the landing?
My eye went right to it... just looks goofy.
