Hello,

I have a 16" drop off from where I installed a patio door to my backyard. I plan on making wood stairs. Since my house is brick façade, I can't use a ledger to attach the stringers to. Does anyone have a workaround that will give me solid stairs? Thanks.

Put in concrete slab. Build box for bottom step and bolt to concrete. Build second box on top of first half the size. Steps are done.

That's a really good idea. Thanks.
