  1. 0:09–1:25 Initial Measurements and Platform Design From Under-Stair Shelving, Step 1: Measure the Under-Stair Space

    Begin by accurately measuring the total rise (vertical height) and run (horizontal depth) for the entire staircase. Design an initial landing platform strategically to prevent the stairs from encroaching into adjacent spaces, such as a hallway. It is crucial to ensure adequate head space above this landing. If the initial platform height results in insufficient head clearance, adjust its level accordingly. Additionally, consider designing the landing platform to be about 12 inches longer than strictly necessary for a 3-foot wide stair tread, as this extra length can simplify turns and reduce the need for complex custom cuts later.
