Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Can I cut these risers to a shorter length?

Yes, you can easily cut them to size using a standard hand saw or circular saw; ensure you treat the cut ends with an end-grain preservative.

Are these risers suitable for ground contact?

Yes, the pressure treatment is designed for outdoor conditions, including contact with or proximity to the ground.

How much weight can these risers support?

With a 48mm thickness, they are designed to support standard residential pedestrian traffic safely when spaced correctly.

Does this pack include the screws?

No, fixings are not included; you should use appropriate exterior-grade wood screws based on your specific framing structure.

What is the total length of each riser?

Each individual riser is 1455mm long.

Troubleshooting

Timber appears slightly damp upon delivery

This is normal for pressure-treated timber; allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area before installation or painting.

Splitting at the ends during fixing

Always pre-drill pilot holes before inserting screws to prevent the wood from splitting, especially when working near the edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality pressure treatment prevents early timber decay
  • Sturdy 48mm thickness ensures safety and rigidity
  • Convenient pack size covers a standard 5-step run
  • Suitable for a variety of garden landscaping and decking applications

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade cutting tools for custom lengths
  • Heavy weight due to thickness may require two-person handling
  • Requires secondary purchase of appropriate structural fasteners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your base is level and use galvanized or stainless steel screws to attach the risers to your staircase stringers to prevent corrosion. Compatibility is best maintained by using matching treated timber for treads and stringers to ensure uniform movement and weathering.

Maintenance Tips:

  1. Regularly inspect for any loose connections or fasteners.
  2. Apply a high-quality water repellent or exterior decking stain every 1-2 years.
  3. Keep the area around the base of the risers free from accumulated debris and wet leaves to prevent moisture buildup.
