Deck Stairs and local data in Kansas
Stair landings and stringer bases sit low and stay wet; with about 98 freezing nights a year in our covered Kansas ZIP codes, a concrete landing or footing at the bottom of the stringers keeps stairs from heaving.
About 13.8 inches of snow a year makes slip-resistant treads and a graspable handrail especially important on exterior stairs.
Homes here have a median build year of 1989; stairs on older decks often predate today's consistent riser and tread limits and are commonly rebuilt during other deck work.

When is the best time for deck stairs in Kansas?
Average lows near Kansas stay above freezing from March–November, which is the main building window. For staining and sealing wood, the best-balanced months are April and September–October.
The coldest month is January (average low 20°F) and the hottest is July (average high 88°F). May is typically the wettest month, with about 5.3 inches of precipitation — plan finish work around it. January brings the most snow on average (about 3.9 inches), so footings and framing are best finished well before then. Use the winter months to settle the design and apply for permits, so footings can go in as soon as the ground allows.
