Step 4 · Secure Stringers to Ground
Position the bottom of the stringers onto the prepared ground area, aligning them with the marks made in Step 2. Ensure the stringers are plumb and securely fastened to a stable base. This can be achieved by using concrete footings, metal stringer connectors anchored to concrete, or by burying the stringers slightly if local codes permit and the ground is stable.
