5-inch rise to a 14-inch rise depending on the circumstances. The
step rise or run may be modified if the run becomes impractical

room by measuring down along a plumb line dropped from the
lowest ceiling point to where the tread beneath would be. To find
the tread height, count the number of steps necessary to get
under the plumb line and then multiply by the step rise. Another

the distance of the step rise, then measuring from the end of the
plumb line directly to the edge of the stringer.
The tread length depends on available room and intended use.
For instance, for two-way trac a length of 36 to 42 inches is
needed, whereas one-way trac doesn’t require over a 24 inch
length. Also, the calculated tread width does not include a nosing
width(1-3/4"beingmaximum).
