Box Steps/Pancake Steps DIY level?
Im taking down a deck and there is a 21” drop from the level of where you exit the sliding glass door and the concrete patio slab below. Am I crazy, or would it be feasible for a beginner DIY person to build 3-tier box steps? It’d be 3 boxes, each with a 7” rise and I’d like the top step/landing to be 3’ deep and flush with the door landing just so there is space for turning around when sliding the door closed. Since it’s a sliding glass door, I was planning to have the box steps be 6’ wide to look proportional to the door. I’ve been quoted $1,700 for labor only to build 3 steps (top flush to door entry) without a landing, and only 3’ long. It seems kind of high? submitted by /u/stroobly [link] [comments]
