"A STEP AHEAD OF THE REST"

Inground and OnConcrete style Stair Stringers in both Hot Dip Galvanized and Supagal finish are IN STOCK up to 18 steps. Landing to Landing made to order.

Door to Door Delivery Australia Wide Available.

Our standard Steel Stair Stringers are fabricated, in our Brisbane Factory, with a Rise of 175mm and a Going of 250mm. See the Pricing Table below. Special 'one off' stringers, those with non-standard rises, single string or PFC rails to name a few, are also manufactured to your requirements.

The standard Stringers are constructed to suit 50mm treads in order to achieve a maximum gap of 125mm between the treads. We recommend and supply Non-Slip, Low Maintenance Aluminium Step Treads. Our Stair Stringers are designed for a maximum stair width of 1000mm per pair. For wider tread spans a third central stringer or more should be used.

Stair Stringers, generally sold as a pair, but also available individually, come complete with top hanger brackets, riser brackets and a choice of footing configurations. Inground, OnConcrete and Landing to Landing pictures below.

At Scott Metals we use Australian Made 100 x 50 x 3.0mm Supagal RHS in the manufacture of our Stringers. This product is a pre-galvanized, inside and out, grade AS1163 - C350/450LO material. The total coating thickness of Supagal pre-galvanized sections is twice that of any other product currently available. On Supagal Stringers all the welds and stair riser brackets are shop prime coated with zinc rich Cold Galvanized Paint after fabrication.

Should you require extra protection from the elements, then we recommend using Hot Dip Galvanized Stair Stringers. Hot Dip Galvanizing is a process where the stringer, after manufacture, is completely immersed in molten zinc. This thick metallic zinc coating, that completely covers the stringer surface, inside and out, provides a superior corrosion resistant finish.

For information, dimensions and drawings on the Riser Brackets, Hanger Plates, Bolt-On Stair Kits, How Many Steps you require, How Far Out will the Stringer base be from the landing and Australia Wide Delivery Rates see below.

After installation, if the Stair Stringers tend to vibrate, flex or spring, then we recommend the fitting of a centrally located post under each Stringer Rail.

The Inground (See Photo) foot style is the most popular form of Stair Stringer. After bolting the top hanger brackets into place, the base of the Stair Stringer is simply concreted into a suitable hole in the ground. The leg on the stringer is approximately 300mm long, enabling for ample anchorage into a concrete footing. Pricing Table

For OnConcrete (See Photo) applications the legs of an inground style Stair Stringer are cut to the desired length, next a Bolt-On Stair Kit bracket is screwed to each leg. The Stair Stringer legs are then able to be anchor bolted down into place. A Bolt-on Stair Kit consists of 2 hot dip galvanised angle brackets and tek screws for fixing to the legs. Pricing Table

STAIR RISER BRACKETS
The Riser Brackets used are pre-drilled, with 2 slotted holes 11 x 18mm @ 150mm centres, to match all popular Aluminium and concrete step treads on the market. We recommend and supply Aluminium Step Treads as they are non-slip and low in maintenance. Timber step treads used are commonly the 250x50 hardwood type available from local timber merchants in full lengths or cut to size. Step Tread Riser Brackets ($3.50ea Inc GST) are also sold separately for those wanting to manufacture their own stringers. 65 x 10mm Galvanized Cup Head nut and bolts are available ($1.20ea Inc GST) for fixing timber treads to the Step Tread Riser Brackets.
TOP HANGER plate BRACKETS
The Top Hanger Plate Brackets used are pre-drilled, with 2 @ 14mm holes @ 50mm centres. They are fabricated from 50 x 6mm Flat Bar. When welded to the Stringer RHS they protrude 180mm above the RHS. The Hanger Plates are sold separately, ($5.50 ea Inc GST), for those wanting to manufacture their own stringers.
BOLT-ON STAIR KIT
A Bolt-On Stair Kit ($11.00 Inc GST) is used when installing the OnConcrete Stair Stringers. The Bolt-On Stair Kit consists of 2 Hot Dip Galvanized Angle Brackets and Tek Screws for fixing to the bottom of the Stringer Legs. The angle Brackets, 55 x 80 and 90 long, are pre-drilled with 3 @ 6mm holes for the Tek Screws and 2 @ 14mm Holes for the Anchor Bolts.
HOW MANY STEPS?
How do you calculate the steps you need on your stringer? Simply measure the height from the top of the landing to the ground directly below, divide this length by 175 rounding to the nearest whole number and deduct 1 for the top landing. Example: Height = 2415 ÷ 175 = 13.8 (14) less 1 = 13 Step. See Pricing Table below for further assistance.
HOW FAR OUT WILL THE STRINGER GO?
How far out will the stringer be? Simply multiply the number of steps by 250mm (this being the going of each step) and deduct 175. The result is equal to the distance from the landing to the centre of the hole required for concreting the stringers into the ground. (No. of Steps x 250) - 175 = Centre of Hole

Inground and OnConcrete Steel Stair Stringers in both Supagal and Hot Dip Galvanized finish are kept IN STOCK up to 18 steps. We supply Non-Slip, Low Maintenance Aluminium Step Treads. Scott Metals Steel Stair Stringers - 'A Step Ahead of the Rest'
