Sloped stair treads.
FIGURE 8-19
Lumber forms for steps.
Position the side forms for the steps using a carpenter’s square to
make sure they are at right angles to the walls of the house. Use a level
to check for proper slope and plumb, then drive stakes into the ground
12–18 in. apart. Leave the stakes nearest the wall several inches taller
than the tops of the forms because they will have to support a cross
brace that will be added later.
