ABSTRACT:
A support system for supporting and securing on a substrate and in the desired position a stair module is described. The stair support arrangement advantageously used with swimming pools includes a vertical post which, at the top, supports the stair bottom through a pad member formed or secured underneath the stair module. The post is secured to the pad through vertical depending extensions formed on the pad member. The arrangement facilitates construction by allowing the support to be installed from the top, i.e. the underside of the stair module, down to the ground or supporting level as distinguished from a conventional block support construction which is built from the ground up. A bolt passes through holes formed in the depending legs and through a hole formed near the top of the post such that the top of the post is spaced from contact with the base of the pad member. Shoes are provided at the bottom of, and secured to the post preferably in conjunction with a reinforcing rod which is secured near the lower part of the post. The stair module with the underneath supporting post assembly secured to the stair module is lowered in place and leveled. The bottom of the post, the shoes and the reinforcing rod are then buried in concrete to provide a footing.
