Same is done ate the inner stringer.<br />Railing in this design is 60x90 mm bull nosed with a round-<br />over of 20 mm.<br />Balusters are round 38 mm and paced on each step.<br />Newels are 128x128 mm square at the blocks.<br />As seen on the photo the first bull nose step is placed under<br />a angle in order to create more space near the adjoining door.<br />The soffit is panelled with hardboard as this needs to be<br />skimmed.Cape Stairshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18124804639437527079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270558448434656768.post-52775926126532532952010-11-28T10:46:00.000-08:002011-02-09T04:48:32.162-08:00D.I.Y Spiral Staircase with round balusters and rail<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8KIQKd6yNI6A07rgi_nHIEDp_U-UiCU8tKdhm0qcFXYQX8RuyOVa0Jq7zZpHqjC5V9W6QIaj0DC8cxPiEEd-G3gn36oHbuKapZYLkWi1KYRkAJnmcswCzgtZARiBw5UNYn8Gv01jbfM/s1600/DSC04645.JPG"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRV09XsmFzN5bXK3OZiwF_6K0LRtlZI9WH9OZDZDvbrJOxdI-FO0BzGuPx6KDrD1nLvKb7zkuLSqvHNKR4tWhiTWHZeLh-hGVXzrTp5laf84s-YhkB5JgBvr8pN0zc_dHmvGrVKrTJz4/s1600/DSC04644.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571654490501589106" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRV09XsmFzN5bXK3OZiwF_6K0LRtlZI9WH9OZDZDvbrJOxdI-FO0BzGuPx6KDrD1nLvKb7zkuLSqvHNKR4tWhiTWHZeLh-hGVXzrTp5laf84s-YhkB5JgBvr8pN0zc_dHmvGrVKrTJz4/s320/DSC04644.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJShssTI2_OK929f6UsjvHiC6UPWgbqmb-koLOqtND4o4R5teW0fDNv6s7FH_9WHE7x_gt-MrzAuuzcm64dpUc52N-zCKz6hrE5wyvjtQC5IBIUoQff29Ld1oflE4xaUl2BtDqvnaQ2II/s1600/DSC04644.JPG"></a></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>This staircase is a bit more elegant than the standard</div><div>spiral far less bulky,we used S.A.Pine but you can choose</div><div>any wood witch is not softer than pine.</div><div> </div><div>Fitting is a less involved.</div><div> </div><div>Price per tread is R 1200,00 excl. the balustrade on the first floor</div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div></div><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg91M3iWpHz0VAARhqAlyg-2bLd6QrUM2PuMBUFXOgwhteY4YHrO7FWQio6PEJVLE21oU5HPvZVwMCyH4eXx_88loLW2H2EzYWY0tFZWgxXwvSvmT-6uSlQke00usfj7PqbL5nHey1zLcs/s1600/DSC04645.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571648821639277698" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 242px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 252px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg91M3iWpHz0VAARhqAlyg-2bLd6QrUM2PuMBUFXOgwhteY4YHrO7FWQio6PEJVLE21oU5HPvZVwMCyH4eXx_88loLW2H2EzYWY0tFZWgxXwvSvmT-6uSlQke00usfj7PqbL5nHey1zLcs/s320/DSC04645.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg91M3iWpHz0VAARhqAlyg-2bLd6QrUM2PuMBUFXOgwhteY4YHrO7FWQio6PEJVLE21oU5HPvZVwMCyH4eXx_88loLW2H2EzYWY0tFZWgxXwvSvmT-6uSlQke00usfj7PqbL5nHey1zLcs/s1600/DSC04645.JPG"></a><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><br /> </div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS4WS0KLC5A_JGyqrUOR197Ty30JAAsA41DO-HggT3lB-r06RS70iBIxPnSrgD9r9afVzm2EsIVrnT-EvG4CIZs6mhJQIkeaaNFXlE7JD_ML3pJA67jKU9V_XO2Fzir3fHxRqKRjnckRE/s1600/DSC04646.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS4WS0KLC5A_JGyqrUOR197Ty30JAAsA41DO-HggT3lB-r06RS70iBIxPnSrgD9r9afVzm2EsIVrnT-EvG4CIZs6mhJQIkeaaNFXlE7JD_ML3pJA67jKU9V_XO2Fzir3fHxRqKRjnckRE/s1600/DSC04646.JPG"></a></div></div>Cape Stairshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18124804639437527079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270558448434656768.post-10615103376040850972010-10-13T04:14:00.000-07:002010-10-13T05:26:02.142-07:00Spiral stainless steel/wood combination<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOGphCP1HQ0kBB6HeJZ-nd95xdtVfz4kXYoZBcIAQAioBa0a5FX3mB29_NzxDaVxn2_1uUOL9kA51-iDZcqApBinA6xHBOEUzu_BzoDfXJsu3i71qpS9_WCex7Qr1BsdMvsplAVQFBxRQ/s1600/Spiral+stainless-steelcomb.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527489207897501986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOGphCP1HQ0kBB6HeJZ-nd95xdtVfz4kXYoZBcIAQAioBa0a5FX3mB29_NzxDaVxn2_1uUOL9kA51-iDZcqApBinA6xHBOEUzu_BzoDfXJsu3i71qpS9_WCex7Qr1BsdMvsplAVQFBxRQ/s320/Spiral+stainless-steelcomb.jpg" /></a><br /><div>This spiral is a cost effective stainless steel staircase.
