Free Wood Spiral Staircase Plans?


I just purchased a home and am planning on putting in a spiral staircase and was wondering if anyone had plans or a link for some free plans.

Re: Free Wood Spiral Staircase Plans?


if your asking about free standing wooden spiral staircases i think you might be out of luck with the free plans. as far as a wall holding up both outter stringers, i seen this on a "home improvement" show days before a HO decided thats what they wanted. i got promoted from laborer to framer instantly.

i only built one so i might miss a point.

1. find your arc. we plumbed down from the start and set our end point. cut plates out of 3/4 plywood, 3 1/2" strip cut to the radius
. we got both inner and outter plate from 1 4x8 sheet. then using a formula that escapes me, we framed the "spiral" walls so the step was like 7" on the inside and 11" on the out. we made a story board for the rise and ran a 2x from wall to wall and down to floor, creating each rise. sorta like having a header at the back of each step which supports the front of the nex step. the most solid staicase ive ever built.

there is alot of factors to figure in that just some free plans. What kind of dimension in your space do you have for spiral stairway. They are not complicated to build by any means however they is alot more lumber involved than a straight run.
