Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Jun 13, 2009 7:06 pm Hi People, I am thinking of running my stairs along a wall and would like to know how much room I need to leave at the end of the stairs before I hit the end wall of the room. At the moment it looks like I will have about 600mm between the end of the final tread and the wall. Any comments welcome.

Be aware if you have a tight stair, a there was one mention of getting a double bed up it or any other furniture for that matter. One of the first design tasks in a practice I was ask to design a stair (temporary... thankfully) to the tightest dimension allowable. I was very surprised how tight this was in reality when I first saw it. I have a size 12 foot which does not fit on a 250mm going to well the walking down a very steep stair is not fun.
