I know my husband will make fun of me if he reads this post, because I grabbed my sewing measuring tape, instead of a proper tape measure. For the rest of the treads, the we pushed excess underneath the previous riser. On the first step, we had to trim one of the tread boards to 6″ wide, so there wouldn’t be too much overhang. Here are more photos to give you a better idea of the process, and how everything was laid out before adding the treads.įor the treads, we used the same yellow pine deck board as we used for the porch floor. I’m so glad we did, too, because I feel like it really opens the porch up and makes it look larger! The goal was to have the 6″ by 6″ beam at the bottom of the railing line up with 6″ by 6″ porch support beam at the top. We ran the new wooden railings, which we used to replace the iron ones that were there before, just inside the new wood steps. We screwed four 1″ by 8″ treated yellow pine boards into the front of the stringers to create the new wood risers. To make our stairs wider, we placed them about a foot out on either side of the stairs. To begin this project, we purchased a couple of 4-Step Stair Stringers to put on the outside of the old steps. Obviously all porches are a little different, so the measurements and process will vary slightly, but my hope is that, by sharing photos of the process, my dear readers, or your contractors, can mimic the process and recreate the same look for your concrete steps. I have already had tons of questions about our new steps, since revealing our farmhouse front porch makeover a few weeks ago, so I decided it was time to give a few more details on the project. The whole process of building wood steps over concrete porch steps was way easier than I expected, and made such a dramatic difference. We also decided to make the steps wider, to make for a more grand entrance. I knew this would make them look brand new, and allow us to use the exact same wood for the treads as we had used for the porch flooring.
So, we decided to find a way to cover the concrete steps with wood. I saw a lot of power washing in our future! Also, I wasn’t sure it would be very practical to have white exterior steps. When I was thinking through the details for our farmhouse front porch makeover, I knew from the very beginning we would want to do something to makeover the concrete steps.Īt first I wanted to paint them white, but when we decided to replace all the porch flooring, I wanted the treads to match new wood.
