Garden steps for a 40cm height

HU-588234240
last month

Hi all


Having a new extension done.


The height from the back patio to the garden lawn will be 40cm, which is too high for 2 steps and too low for 3 steps!


Can someone suggest some ideas please?


Thanks


Sam

    Actuall a step riser can be anywhere between 100mm and 180mm. Which means 3 steps is fine

    Thanks for your reply, but i thought the min height for an outdoor step was 15cm?

    Is your first stepping out level the same height as the internal floor/ threshold, or 150mm below DPC. This will determine how many steps you need, however, three steps is perfect for a 400mm drop, just make the treads deeper.

    Perhaps lower the patio by 6cm? You likely wouldn't notice when stepping outside. Then 2 steps of 17cm each?
