A stair and slide assembly includes a stair portion including a plurality of stairs, a slide portion including a slide with an entrance and an exit, and an assist bar positioned proximate the exit of the slide to assist a user with pivoting from the exit of the slide to the stair portion. The slide has a first portion extending substantially linearly from the entrance of the slide at an angle and a second portion extending from the first portion to the exit of the slide. The second portion transitions the slide from the angle of the first portion to substantially horizontal. The exit of the slide is configured to be positioned at a target height above a ground surface. The target height is between about 18 inches and about 30 inches.

A deck apparatus for assembly with a pair of opposing brace frames interconnected by a pair opposing connector bases and a deck board top frame having a plurality of deck boards disposed thereon, the connector bases having opposing posts for being received in openings in a lower end of the opposing brace frames ends and the deck board top frame having posts for being received in an upper end of the opposing brace frames, and optionally attaching a stairs riser having a plurality of spaced-apart treads or a ramp riser for extending from a deck surface at a height to a vertically lower support surface.

A staircase assembly is installed in a multi-story building, including first and second flights of stairs that are hingably coupled to a landing, and a plurality of vertically-oriented columns coupled to the landing. The staircase assembly is assembled into a first liftable floor plate, and is disposed in a folded arrangement when the liftable floor plate is positioned at an assembly level elevation. The staircase assembly is disposed in an unfolded arrangement when the first liftable floor plate is positioned at a first design level elevation and a second liftable floor plate that is positioned at a second design level elevation below the first liftable floor plate.

The present disclosure relates to stair systems and methods for allowing stair movement between building levels while maintaining the structural integrity of the stair system for safe egress passage. The systems and methods of the present disclosure allow for independent movement of the surrounding building walls, landings, floor slabs, and/or any other portion of the surrounding building structure or stair system. The embodiments of the present disclosure are suitable for use in both new constructions as well as in existing constructions for retrofit applications to allow for movement between levels, landings, or within stairwell structures. The present disclosure reduces stair damage during building movement whether it is from wind, thermal, or seismic activity, and/or any other type of suitable force or experience, as the present disclosure allows for directional movement, or a combination thereof, including tension and compression, lateral, or vertical movement.

A frame for an understairs storage system, the system having a plurality of gussets, each gusset having a gusset pitch , comprising: a first support member and a second support member, each of the first and second support members having a plurality of preconfigured engagement points, the preconfigured engagement points of the first support member pairing with the plurality of engagement points of the second support member to provide a plurality of pairs of engagement points; each pair of engagement points configured to cooperably engage a gusset of the plurality of gussets to orientate the second support member at a preselected angle, x, to the first support member, said preselected angle corresponding to the gusset pitch.
