"A STEP AHEAD OF THE REST"
Inground and OnConcrete
style Stair Stringers in both Hot Dip Galvanised and Supagal finish are kept IN
STOCK up to 17 steps for priority dispatch or
collection from our Brisbane Depot. Landing to Landing made
to order.
Door to Door Delivery Australia Wide Available.
Our standard Steel Stair Stringers are fabricated, in our Brisbane Factory, from quality Australian Made Steel, with a Rise of 175mm and a Going of 250mm. Special 'one off' stringers, those with non-standard rises, single string or PFC rails etc, are also manufactured to your requirements. Pricing Table below.
Scott Metals Stringers are designed and engineered to clear span up to 17 steps for residential applications when using Timber or Aluminium Stair Treads. NO support post under the Stringers required, allowing more versatility in the installation and giving an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The standard Stringers are constructed to suit 50mm treads in order to achieve a maximum gap of 125mm between the treads. We supply Aluminium Step Treads Timber Step Treads and Concrete Step Treads.
Stair Stringers, generally sold as a pair, but also available individually, come complete with top hanger brackets, riser brackets and a choice of footing configurations. Inground, OnConcrete and Landing to Landing pictures below.
Supagal: At Scott Metals we use Australian Made 100 x 50 x 3.0mm Supagal RHS in the manufacture of our Stringers up to 15 Steps. This product is a pre-galvanised, inside and out, grade AS1163 - 450PLUS material. The total coating thickness of Supagal pre-galvanised sections is twice that of any other product currently available. On Supagal Stringers all the welds and stair riser brackets are shop prime coated with zinc rich Cold Galvanised Paint after fabrication. For added protection, after purchase, we recommend the use of a quality top coating.
Hot Dip Galvanised: Should you require extra protection from the elements, then we recommend using Hot Dip Galvanised Stair Stringers. Hot Dip Galvanising is a process where the stringer, after manufacture, is completely immersed in molten zinc. This thick metallic zinc coating, completely covers the stringer surface, inside and out, providing a superior corrosion resistant finish.
16 and 17 Step Stair Stringers are fabricated from 100 x 50 x 5.0mm RHS and are then Hot Dipped Galvanised to exacting Australian Standards. 16 step and 17 step stringers are only stocked in the Hot Dipped Galvanised finish. For residential applications, when using Timber or Aluminium Treads, NO support post is required.
For information, dimensions and drawings on the Riser Brackets, Hanger Plates, Bolt-On Stair Kits, How Many Steps you require, How Far Out will the Stringer base be from the landing and Australia Wide Delivery rates see below.
Design: Our Stair Stringers are designed for the residential applications with a clear span to 17 steps when installed with the use of Aluminium Step Treads or Timber Treads to a maximum of 1200mm tread width per pair. For wider tread spans a third central stringer or more must be used. If you require an alternative rise and going to our standard 175mm Rise and 250 Going please refer to and check the Engineers Details and Installation Table as the purchase of support posts maybe required. Alternatively, for a small increase in cost, the Step Stringers can be manufactured using thicker RHS if a clear span is required.
Supporting posts or the fabrication using thicker RHS may also be required when the Stair Stringers are installed using Concrete Step Treads or when used in a commercial application. Please check the Engineers Details and Installation Table.
After installation, if the Stair Stringers tend to vibrate, flex or spring, then we recommend the fitting of a centrally located post under each Stringer Rail.
Engineer Approved: Scott Metals Stair Stringers are Engineer Approved and Certified to comply with all relevant Australian Standard Building Codes. Form 15 available after purchase if required. Engineers Details and Installation Table.
Note: To comply with the current Building Code of Australia, the Stringer “rise” MUST be consistent, including the first step and last step up to the landing. The ground level may need to be built up or excavated to achieve this.

| STAIR RISER BRACKETS | |
The Riser Brackets used are pre-drilled, with 2 slotted holes 11 x 18mm @ 150mm centres, to match all popular Aluminium and Concrete Step Treads on the market. We recommend and supply Aluminium Stair Treads as they are non-slip and low in maintenance. Timber Step Treads used are commonly the 250 x 50mm hardwood type available from local timber merchants in full lengths or cut to size. Step Tread Riser Brackets ($3.50 ea Inc GST) are also sold separately for those wanting to manufacture their own stringers. 65 x 10mm Galvanised Cup Head nuts and bolts are available ($1.20 ea Inc GST) for fixing timber treads to the Step Tread Riser Brackets. |
 |
| TOP HANGER PLATE BRACKETS | |
The Top Hanger Brackets used are pre-drilled, with 2 @ 14mm holes @ 50mm centres. They are fabricated from 50 x 6mm Flat Bar. When welded to the Stringer RHS they protrude 180mm above the RHS. The Hanger Plates are sold separately, ($5.50 ea Inc GST), for those wanting to manufacture their own stringers. Alternative Side Fix Top Hanger Brackets are also available upon request, see image below. ($5.50 ea Inc GST). |
 |
| BOLT-ON STAIR KIT | |
| A Bolt-On Stair Kit ($11.00 ea Inc GST) is used when installing the OnConcrete Stair Stringers. The Bolt-On Stair Kit consists of 2 Hot Dip Galvanised Angle Brackets and Tek Screws for fixing to the bottom of the Stringer Legs. The Angle Brackets, 55 x 80 and 90mm long, are pre-drilled with 3 @ 6mm Holes for the Tek Screws and also 2 @ 14mm Holes for the Anchor Bolts. |  |
 | |
| HOW MANY STEPS? | |
How do you calculate the steps you need on your stringer? Simply measure the height from the top of the landing to the ground directly below, divide this length by 175 rounding to the nearest whole number and deduct 1 for the top landing. Example: Height = 2415 ÷ 175 = 13.8 (14) less 1 = 13 Steps See Pricing Table below for further assistance. | |
| HOW FAR OUT WILL THE STRINGER GO? | |
How far out will the stringer be? Simply multiply the number of steps by 250mm (this being the going of each step) and deduct 175. The result is equal to the distance from the landing to the centre of the hole required for concreting the stringers into the ground. (No. of Steps x 250) - 175mm = Centre of Hole |  |
