For today’s video for our project series
we’re gonna be talking about the stairs
that leads up to the guest house
and to the bridge
♪
So for our stairs
we did run into some unique scenarios
but for the most part it was pretty straightforward
for our tensioning fittings
we used 1/8 inch swage stud assemblies
for our end-stop fittings
we used 1/8 inch lag receiver swage stops
♪
We’re kinda presented with a unique scenario
regarding this top post situation
there’s a four-by-four and a six-by-six post post
butted right up against one another
so instead of us going all the way through
the post with a through-post fitting
we went with a lag receiver swage stop
at our four-by-four post
it just makes things a little bit easier
and this is a great example of how you can use
those lag receiver swage stops
for your stair runs and also those really
hard to reach and tight-fitting places
♪
The other unique scenario that we had for our stair run
was this tricky little triangle that you see here
you’re gonna always have a top and bottom post
for your handrails
now if you’re in scenario like this where
we clearly don’t
you’re gonna have to explore your options
and so what we ended up doing was just using
a 1/8 inch lag receiver swage stop
and we tied that right into the floor joist
underneath the guest house and we just tensioned everything up
using a 1/8 swage stud assembly
so keep that in mind if you’re doing your own projects
or you’re on the job site
if maybe you have a spot that’s hard to reach or difficult
to get to or maybe you don’t even have an end post at all
a lag receiver swage stop is a great component to use
it’s kind of universal and it’s going to get you out of the bind
whenever you need it.

So that’s gonna be it for the stair run portion
of this project
the next video in the series is going to be all about
the bridge
