Outdoor Step Height Calculator

What is an Outdoor Step Height Calculator?

An outdoor step height calculator is a web-based tool that helps users determine the height of each step in an outdoor staircase.

It considers the total rise (vertical distance) and the number of steps to calculate the height of each individual step.

Why Use an Outdoor Step Height Calculator?

1. Safety: Ensures that the steps in an outdoor staircase are of consistent height, reducing the risk of trips and falls.
2. Aesthetics: Helps in creating visually pleasing outdoor staircases with uniform step heights.
3. Compliance: Ensures compliance with building codes and standards for safe step height.
4. Convenience: Simplifies the planning and construction of outdoor steps by providing accurate step height measurements.

How to Use an Outdoor Step Height Calculator:

1. Number of Steps: Enter the desired number of steps in the outdoor staircase.
2. Total Rise: Specify the total vertical rise from the base to the top of the staircase (in inches).
3. Calculate: Click the "Calculate" button.
4. Result: The calculator displays the height of each step (in inches) to achieve the desired number of steps while accommodating the total rise.

Example Calculation:

For example, if you want to build an outdoor staircase with 5 steps and the total rise is 36 inches, the calculator will estimate that each step should have a height of 7.20 inches.

This ensures that you have 5 steps that collectively cover a total rise of 36 inches with consistent step heights.
