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. Very wide steps are great...if you have the room for them and they work with your design. These usually work best with a single set of deck stairs.
Stay within the regulations for deck stairs. Stairs must be at least 36- inches wide, not including the handrails, and they must rise no higher than 12 feet. If you want your deck stairs to extend higher, you need at least one landing for every 12 vertical feet. Determine your dimensions.
