Decks.com. Stair Stringer Attachmenthttps://www.decks.com/how-to/72/stair-stringer-attachmentUse positive connections to install stair stringers using stair stringer connectors to the front face of the rim to provide adequate support. If your first tread steps down from the deck you must extend the rim joist to create a solid surface below the deck rim to attach to.Helpful Reply -

Install a piece of blocking below the rim joist to extend the attachment surface for your stairs stringers. Use a level to mark the top step. Measure down from the top of the deck and mark the top of your stair stringers with a level.Helpful Reply -
