How high can you make box frame steps structurally solid

How high can you make box frame steps structurally solid? I have concrete steps in the front of my house that are roughly 50 years old and starting to deteriorate. I know I have a few years to prepare so I am trying to figure out what ill replace them with in the future. I liked the setup of the box frame steps and it seemed like it would be an easy enough diy project...only all of the videos or how to's i have read have these steps going up only 4 or so steps. Mine would have to go up about 9 feet. Would making this type stair this tall make it unstable? submitted by /u/VinDieselAteMyQueso [link] [comments]
