Stairs and Banisters

By adding side locks to the stairs, we can add banisters securely.  I have both a narrow S-Stair and the wider E-Stair variant.

The banisters we are adding to the stairs are low profile, meaning they will be about the height of the stairs and therefore will not need newel posts.  They are the same width and depth as an A-Wall and there is also an AS variant.

A left and/or right banister can be added to the stairs.  The right banister is simply a mirror of the left banister and they lock in on the side of the stairs.

By adding some A-Walls and E-Risers, you can achieve higher stairs.

Using this technique, you are able to go as high as you want with the stairs.

For a recent session, I built the following raised portal which shows the possibilities with these stairs.

For part 3, I am going to show the figure stands we use on the stairs.
