The width of the steps is flexible. A wide deck staircase (5 feet and beyond) feels graceful and looks it too. A narrow one, for example 3 feet wide, might feel cramped.

The total rise is a stairwayâs overall change in height, from the landing pad to the top of the deckâs decking. Now, some common code requirements, along with our recommendations: - The stairâs treads should be at least 36 inches wide. We think stairs should be at least 48 inches wide, so they donât feel cramped. - The maximum allowable unit rise is 7 3/4 inches, and the minimum unit rise is 4 inches.
