My friend stepped throu his rotten Staircase a week ago. You can't buy stringers any more so I made the new ones. I used pressure treated wood. All endgrain 3 coats of zinzer spray primer then next day prime everything w 123 primer 2 coats outside on bench. Then attach stringers to home and Assemble everything. Found alittle dryrot under Sliding door cleaned it all up put propane dryer on it to dry out the wood, took a little over an hour sprayed zinzer primer on it torched it again to dry that next 123 primer then put a primed 1x1 in and used some 30yr roof caulking and star screws. Steps same process then paint w, semigloss. Should last 50 plus yrs. Everyone is happy. All I asked was to never walk on them they're too pretty LOL.
