Decks in South Prairie, WA.
Decks in South Prairie often use the same finish on the platform and the steps. That does not mean the product has the same support requirements in both applications.
Evergreen Home Pro helps you ask about the stair tread as a specific part of the board selection. Have the provider match the actual product to the stair framing.
Deck construction
Check stair-tread support for the selected board.
Trex’s stair guide ties stringer spacing to the decking product’s stair-span limits and labels its illustrated build as an example. Have the designer use current instructions for the selected board rather than copying the platform’s joist spacing.
Review the supporting stringers.
Have the provider establish support and fastening for that stair application.
Recheck a product substitution.
Ask whether a changed board affects the reviewed stair details before it is supplied.

Include the stair materials in the South Prairie deck scope.
