DIYHD 7-Step Outdoor Steel Stair Stringer for Deck Height 58in, 2 Pack

I’m still finishing up my stairs, but one thing became clear after installing the first pair of these DIYHD metal stringers: two alone were going to be a bit bouncy. Rather than adding a mid-span support post—which would block access to the storage space under the deck—I ordered two more stringers to stiffen the run. That solved the issue and kept the underside completely open. The stringers themselves are strong, well made, and feel high quality. The factory finish has held up well so far, with no visible chipping or rust. Installation is dramatically easier than cutting traditional wood stringers, and as a bonus you get that clean, modern floating stair look. Compared to precut wood stringers, these are a great value. They’re bug-proof, dimensionally stable, and while steel may eventually rust, these will easily outlast wood in the same environment. Overall, a solid product and a smart solution if you want strength, durability, and a cleaner design without mid-span supports.

These stringers arrived a week early. The delivery team kept us informed every step of the way. They were packaged well. My husband and I were able to easily manage locating to the area needed and were easy to install. Fabulous value for the money. Durability is strong and seem like they will be functionally and last a very long time

Good Product all in all, but holes could be placed better. Especially the most forward screw at the bottom step hole. That board has to be off in order to install the bottom rail anchor screws if you have any over hang on the sides. Even then the mount screw has to be pre-drilled and installed at a serious angle if you're anchoring to a wood surface at the very bottom. If the surface is concrete, you could drill and install it in the anchors in the concrete first. Then you would be okay. I expect 98% of the time, they would be mounted on concrete and work out better, but you're not going to be able to get the furnished screws in the step board leading edge hole because the holes are centered. If the holes were off to the side, you could, but even then it would be at an angle. That said. Use 2 X 12 step boards and you will be okay if you don't feel the need to use that hole. Since I was installing the stairs on a wood surface and using two 2 X 6's I already had Vs One 2 X 12's, I choose to use carriage bolts for the step boards. It turned into a lot of work pre-drilling the steps boards for the carriage bolts, but the end results worked out great. I am very happy with them otherwise and they are very sturdy.

I really appreciate how this simplifies the creation of deck stairs. They look nice but it's tough to get all the screws in from the bottom side if that's how you want to install the boards.

These stringers worked out PERFECT for the steps my husband built at my son’s new home. I highly recommend them, easy to use and made the job less expensive!

These seem to be sturdy enough, but the way they are designed, you have to screw in the step boards from below, and it is NOT easy to line them up and screw the screws in. But once that was accomplished, they seem to be working nicely.

We needed a temporary stair case after a new home build without deck. These were just right for the staircase size. It's difficult to get all of the screws into the wood, but based on the angles needed, that's to be expected. I'd prefer some way to fasten top down and could probably rig something up, but for what they are they're ultra solid and have worked for us.9

The product is very weak and flexible; it moves a lot with every step and feels very unsafe.

Not used yet but looks good.

Solide

They are great! So easy to put up. They saved me so much time and frustration. When all you need to do is add the treads what could have been an all day or even all weekend project took less than 2 hours.

good stringers, but do not use self tapping screws as there no room to install. after some time I used carrage bolts

Excellent
