I'm gonna build some stairs using trex as treads and risers. Does anyone have any suggestions for stringers? they will need to be durable becuase they are exposed weather.
I would def. use some. Prob. one every 12" or so...Does anyone have any suggestions for stringers?
That's what I would do, and if feasible, I would consider hidden fasteners for your treads and risers, since a lot of rot occurs from water seeping thru the screw/nail holes.PT 2x12's, rated for ground contact.
Need them stronger? soak the cut edges with something to better protect them... Need to have them less bouncy, install a 2x6 along the side of the stringers, touching the treads...
