Poorly Supported Structural Stair Headout


How to Properly Support a Structural Stair Head Out

Greg starts the video by pointing out the problems with the existing stair head out. The head out is not properly supported, and the speaker is concerned that it may collapse. He also points out that the head out is not level, and that this could create problems with the stairs.

Then offers suggestions on how to improve the stair head out. He suggests adding a support beam underneath the head out, and leveling the head out. He also suggests adding hangers to the joists, and doubling the joists above the head out.

Greg concludes the video by emphasizing the importance of planning and design when building a staircase. He says that the problems with the stair head out could have been avoided if the builder had taken the time to plan the project properly.

When building a staircase, it is important to plan the project carefully and make sure that all of the materials are in place before you start.
It is also important to follow the building code in your area.

If you are not sure how to do something, it is always best to consult with a professional.
