   A steel sprial stair kit is the least expensive. It will come shipped in several boxes. The center pole is the largest item.

   They are easy to install and sturdy. Do a search to find the closest manufacture near you.

   spiral stairs
   having built several of these stairs from scratch over the years a kit would probally be the easist way to do one

   the one i have in my house i used a barn beam for the main post as i hve barn beams in my ceiling in the great room that the stairs leads from

   the treads are 1 12 ïnch oak

   for spindels i used 1/2 inch steel going through the treads on the bottom & welded to a piece of channel on the top

   to reinforce the structure i welded a horse shoe between the spindles in every second space

   for a railing i got 1/4 x 3 1/2 x 1/4 oak & laminated them in place ( lots of clamps & glue )

   this setup looks alright as the building is circa 1875 stone and everything looks a bit rustic

   i did another set for a job & used a steel well casing as the main post & welded tread supports to it & the rest was similar to the first one

   note: do not wax the treads !

   Yeah, and his shift key and return key are apparently not working.
