Stair railing with drywall

Yes, unfortunately the masonry does not work in d=6cm and therefore the idea with drywall construction. I currently do not have a picture of the storage room, but this should be independent of that for now. We have two floors, so the storage room under the stairs on the ground floor is a special case. In the attached photos, you can see our stairs from the upper floor down to the ground floor and out to the basement.

The picture from the previous post is simply meant to show what style we would like.

Do you think I should use timber beams instead of CW and CA profiles? That would be no problem. It makes sense to me that a timber beam is more stable than a CW profile, but such a CA profile already looks very stable. I think a timber beam and a CA profile are comparable, but if you replace the CW profile with a timber beam, you can also replace the CA profile, right?

I wouldn’t draw that much. Plan one step and then implement it 34 times

It seems to me that you lack spatial imagination 34 times :-(

Maybe you should start with the drywall first. The problems/concerns regarding edge distance of dowels and stability of the connection are known to you. You have been given alternatives here and have very well argued them away/ignored. In the worst case, you just do the thing a second time..! I wish you good success in any case, so that a proper overall result comes out.

You have been given alternatives here and very well dismissed/ignored.

I just don’t understand this condescending tone. I don’t mean it maliciously or anything like that. I really don’t quite get it. Which alternatives do you specifically mean, because right now the only alternative mentioned that comes to mind is the squared timber. It was also not said why one would use it, just that one would use it and then it was relativized in the very next subordinate clause. Without justification, you can’t blindly trust it. Therefore, I politely asked why the squared timber would be better and was ignored, but instead got a snippy comment. We want a stair railing like shown in the previous post. Taking normal railing posts as an alternative and filling the space between with glass doesn’t help us achieve our goal. Sorry if this offends anyone.

It was not said why one would use it, but simply that one would use it, and this was relativized in the very next subordinate clause. [...] but I got a snippy comment for that.

Nothing was relativized, and I merely take it with humor that you apparently are very thoroughly stuck. I think: 1. you should think of the whole as a complete sculpture, that is, a 6cm riser + 2cm stair opening + 6cm riser = 14cm deep corpus; 2. accordingly, do not drill a post on every single step on every side individually, but position vertical posts at intervals of two to three steps – cutting them out on one side or the other is, to put it mildly, non-trivial in spatial composition, and nowhere something that would simply repeat with a pattern 34x per step.

You build the entire structure like a roof frame lying down first and plank it completely on one side initially. Square timber 10cm (at the “thickest” spots), plank once vertically and once following the diagonally rising upper edge. could probably also draw that, but that would be “too much to ask” for free in a forum, so have an experienced carpenter do that for you. Then you stand it up, fix the posts and rails, plank the other side, and finally with the second layer. If you want to experiment playfully, you can add step lighting as a special feature.

You see: the task is solvable – but the solution is galaxies away from just setting a small template 34x one step higher and jamming 68 dowels in. And with some commercially prefabricated profiles where you only have to decide whether to buy variant XY or QZ, it definitely won’t work. Geometry for beginners with a bit of linear shift this is not, but requires a lot of brains already while the cordless drill isn’t even charging yet. Good luck!

I cannot give a constructive answer yet, but I would like to sincerely thank you for your response! In the meantime, I have come to the conclusion today to realize the whole thing with [Kanthölzern], but I had not seen your approach. I need to think about it calmly because I cannot yet fully understand all the remarks. However, I believe I understand what you mean and as I said at the beginning, thank you for the very helpful answer.
