Space is limited in tiny homes, but convenience is key – and that includes the stairs. Here at LevelMaster we focus on creating tiny home stairs for both entry/exit and inside elevation. They’re functional, easy to install and use, look great, and are perfect for the minimalist lifestyle this kind of living offers. In this blog, we’ll go through our guide to portable building stair installation.
Tiny home stairs are compact, custom-built steps designed to access the home, its lofts, or elevated sleeping areas without wasting valuable floor space.

How to Install Stairs on a Portable Building
LevelMaster products are designed to be adaptable and DIY-able. Installing stairs as external access for a tiny home involves securing the steel stringers to your tiny home’s entry deck or floor framing and fixing the base plates to a concrete footing. Our system features adjustable base plates to achieve a perfectly level and sturdy climb.

My stairs arrived beautifully packed, from Brisbane to Townsville, within 48 hours, delivered to my door!! WOW!! Because I’m not a handyman, I quickly learned how to use a pop rivet gun bought inexpensively from Bunnings, and very swiftly, I was able to rivet all the side-plates onto my new stairs. Installing LevelMasters’ aluminium stairs was indeed a piece of cake, done quickly, with zero dramas at all! – Frederick – Google Reviews

Frequently Asked Questions about Stairs for Tiny Homes
What sizes do the stringers come in?
LevelMaster manufactures stringers from 1 to 17 steps.
Can I adjust the stringer after installation?
Yes, LevelMaster stair stringers feature a unique adjustable foot at the bottom, which is bolted on to help fine-tune the height.
How do I ensure installation complies with regulations?
LevelMaster offers AS compliant stairs for tiny homes. To comply with the Australian building code, all steps must be the same height, including the first and last step. Remember that tiny homes may or may not be seen by the council as permanent dwellings. It’s important to check and see which codes you need to follow.
What other portable buildings can use these stairs?
Levelmaster’s portable building stairs aren’t just tiny home entry steps. As portable building entry steps, these compliant stairs also work as portable office stairs and portable classroom stairs – anywhere you need a durable, adjustable step-up to a raised entry.
