Custom built sprial staircase. One place you dont want to use> the iron works

Thank you John, I will be back on site to see if spiral will be a option.

Hi again, John or any one, my client is using east teak wood for the decking with the steep stairs. At the center to the ground is only 9 ft. They want to start the stairs from the outer most corner of the deck and curve into a natural stone patio. They also are looking at this patio being slightly raised. This patio will gradualy extend to a patio with an outdoor kitchen that will include a fireplace. Will a set of five stairs with a landing then turn with another set of five stairs sound reasonable? I'm also reading about some troubles using Teak wood. We are in Minnesota so this is very common material used on crusing boats. How weather worthy is this? And I expect it is high maintenance?

I have seen some wild bends done on wood boats those guys are really some good Craftsmen.

The stair lay out seems doable, be sure and stay in the area of a 7-8'' riser, 12'' tread.

Wood is Wood East Teak caries a high quality selection. I cant see Teak being a problem in any project unless the install was wrong. Teak is some fine material light, easy to work with, lasts forever. It is a little spendy. J.

I agree, I've been playing with some looks and am comming up with 4 steps a 4'x4' landing repeat same size landing going north the turn east, 4 more steps to a raised natural stone patio. The landings will be beveled. Thanks for the advice on the 7-8" riser and 12" tread. I will go according to those measurements. I like the Teak as well. Very elegant. Spendy? Oh you have that right as well!
