How to build outside steps for covered patio?

Maybe this can help you Deb. Depending on your skills it may be quick or it may take longer! You do want sturdy steps so don't take shortcuts. If you are not sure how to do this see if you can grab a skilled neighbor or a family member.

You can use concrete blocks. Do a double layer for top step and a single layer for the bottom step. Be sure to get a nice level base and stagger the blocks on the double layer for strength. At a later date you can do a more permanent set if steps.

Concrete cinder blocks are the most likely the best way to accomplish this. It's a bit difficult to explain the way to lay them. Make sure it is flat , you might have to put a bit of sand down. Maybe this will help

Hi Deb

Here is some more info that may solve your problem- I also know you can buy ready made steps in one to three steps at Home Depot and Lowes.

Yes concrete block steps & a solid base that has a border that won’t erode.

Hey your self 12 flat cinderblocks lay 4 sown in front of the door then lay 4 more in front of those then add the 4 left to the top and you have steps Home Depot sells them there about 6 by 12 and 2 inches thick about.

Hello Deb,

Use pallets or Cinder blocks, concrete blocks, or Slabs. Start at the bottom and build up.
