Stairs

None of the above

All engineerd for serious personal injury

I prefer the one with railings

None of the above.

From a code perspective—there are no railings on any of them, nor does it look like there would be a good way to build one that would actually be sturdy.  The risers also need to be closed in to where they can’t pass a 4” sphere.  And, depending on location, the posts need to be on a footer that is below frost depth, and isolated from the slab.

I also agree with the others—too complex and “busy.”  K.I.S.S. principle needs to be applied.

Actually, these are flower pot shelves designed by a Twister fan

I'm guessing that these are some kind of AI images, whether generated fully with AI or as a visualization tool generating what the user inputs.

Hi folks,
I see we're all in agreement on this goofy choice. I'd probably build a 5' or 6' wide stair with railings both sides coming off the deck at a 45* angle into the yard. Just sayin...

And, on another note, nice to "see" you guys again. I apologize that I've been AWOL for so long. I just don't have enough time these days to spend online, but I'm glad to see that Peter is keeping the lights on and that the conversation continues. I'll try to stop by more often.

Cheers,
Ellis

Besides the other comments, it does not appear that there is a sufficient landing in front of the door for a person to safely open the door without having to step down the stairs.
