Exterior stairs are an integral part of modern buildings: country houses, cottages, residential houses, as well as household and garage buildings. The arrangement of staircases allows you to solve such problems:
Outdoor staircases are made of wood or concrete, but the most durable material is metal. New technologies for the production of materials for metal structures allow you to create durable and multifunctional products that will become a real decoration of the exterior of the house. What are outdoor metal stairs, and what does every homeowner need to know about them?
Metal stairs are ideal for both safe outdoor and indoor use, as well as for creating an attractive exterior of a home. Exterior stairs made of metal must meet a number of criteria:
Outdoor steel stairs differ from other analogues by their durability. The material used for the production of staircases is not subject to the negative impact of external factors. Extend the service life of metal structures by using special coatings that prevent the formation of rust and slip.

According to the method of fixing the steps and the type of supporting structure, there are such metal stairs:
By type, staircase metal structures are:
By form:
As a rule, the basis of any design is a metal frame. Our masters design it based on the size of the stairwell and the dimensions of the future structure; they also take into account the method of attachment: to the wall or additional support. Then they calculate the strength and select the appropriate range (screws, pipes, strips, channel bars).
Art Metal specialists will help you to prepare the base for each of the above options, select the right design, as well as provide all the necessary technical documentation.
Before setting up a staircase outside, first of all, you should remember about safety, so it is worth equipping it with reliable treads. These structure elements are exposed to moisture, or ice crusts can form on them. To protect children and adults from damage and injury, metal treads for outdoor stairs are better to be made of such sheets:
Corrugated page: material with embossed anti-slip coating, which excludes falls and injuries. This type of product has resistance to corrosion, so it is suitable for prolonged use in outdoor conditions;
Standard serrated grating: differs from the corrugated sheet at lower cost. The material has improved performance characteristics that allow it to withstand both mechanical stresses and adverse climatic factors. It can be galvanized and with anti-slip features.
Perforated or lattice: characterized by low weight, easy installation, and the ability to withstand any load. The best choice for the arrangement of the fire escape.
Metal sheets for treads include black metal, stainless steel, galvanized metal, or aluminum. Most often, combinations of metal, stone, tile, and hardwood (larch, acacia, or oak) are used to create interior stairs.
Another important element of outdoor metal stairs is railings. They are easily attached to the metal frame with welding equipment. Such designs can be welded and prefabricated, as well as straight, spiral, curved, and arched – it all depends on your imagination. Stair railings contact steps, pipes, cables, floor holders, and other staircase elements.
Railing from metal is made not only in the classic version but also in combinations with exquisite patterns. Artistic design is a real wow factor for creating unique designs. Successful combinations with glass, forging, and ropes, as well as the use of proven technologies (e.g., powder coated), ensure not only the safe operation of the structures but also serve as successful exterior decoration.
Metal outdoor stairs perform not only functional roles but also aesthetic. Therefore, to create a unique interior, materials are chosen in accordance with design ideas. Art Metal company sells components for stairs of great quality only. Due to the variety of forms and invisible contact, even the usual metal front stairs will look elegant and prestigious.
Before constructing outdoor metal stairs, you should consider what purposes they will serve. So, evacuation stairs are better to mount in the backyard in compliance with fire safety standards, but for the grand staircase, it is better to leave the area at the main entrance.
Before constructing a staircase, you should create a project of the future structure. This specifies the type of construction, design, number of steps, and material. For an accurate calculation of the future design, we carry out a visit to the client.
The manufacturing process of outdoor metal stairs is divided into several steps:
– choosing the location and dimensions of the structure;
– making measurements;
– creation of the future model, discussion of design ideas;
– development of technical documentation and design;
– choice and purchase of materials;
– production of the main elements of the staircase;
– welding load-bearing parts of the structure;
– metal coating with anti-corrosion agents;
– installation of a stair at the site.
For ease of use and safe operation of stairs at the stages of design and construction, we are guided by technological standards. When building stairs, we observe such parameters as:
– the standard width of the staircase: from 0.8 to 1 meter;
– depth of steps: from 25 to 40 cm, and their height: from 12 to 20 cm;
– the angle of inclination of treads for uniform water drainage: 1-2%;
– the slope of the stairs: 35-40 degrees;
– optimal weight for operation: 200 kg.
In addition, the ladder should be well lit, and long products are better equipped with sturdy balusters. The undoubted advantage of metal stairs is the lack of creaking.
In order to construct sturdy and practical outdoor stairs, you may need an average of 50 days
