It is important to consider a few rules that will affect the functional use of the stairs in the future.
- If a family has children up to 3 years, the distance between railings should not exceed 10 cm, and between the steps of 12 cm and the Optimal width will be 1.2-1.4 m.
- The railing should be 90 cm with three or more steps. If the ladder makes to the Windows, then they need to close the special grid and to protect from design.

First, you need to accurately determine the width of the March. For example, 1.5 m. second, measure the height of the ceiling and based on these data, specify the length of the product (if the room height is 3 m, then the ladder should be 3.5 m). Thirdly, we denote the length of the ladder track to calculate the number of steps.
How to do it?
- Measuring tape measure the distance from the top step to the bottom.
- Having length and height of the product (the legs of a right triangle) looking for the hypotenuse, which is the length of a cloth ready-made ladder for the garden.
Next, consider the number of steps (divide the figure length -18cm to the figure paintings). And to calculate the height of a step a partial length of the basis on which their total number.
