Build the main, upper section of steps the normal way down to a more or less normal landing, not a winder. A little smaller than a normal landing maybe. Build the lower section set of steps with a hinged joint where they fit onto the landing. Fold the lower section up onto the landing when the upper area is not in use. That clears the main floor area. ???

Link44 Member	# Posted: 13 Jun 2023 22:31 Reply  I wanted to share the end product of my stairs. My father in law was a huge help this last weekend and we built the stairs. They came out 8in rise, 9in run with the winder landing and they feel good going up and down. I am working on ideas for a railing next. 20230609_164327.jpg 20230609_164315.jpg 20230609_164306.jpg
