Steps

Step 1: Plan Your Step Layout
Determine the number of steps needed and measure the slope where the steps will be installed. Mark the position of each step to ensure uniformity and stability.
Step 2: Prepare the Ground
Clear the area of any debris and level the ground for each tyre placement. Dig a small trench to half the depth of the tyre to ensure stability when placed.
Step 3: Place the Tyres
Position the tyres in the trenches according to your layout plan, making sure they are stable and level.
Step 4: Secure the Tyres
Anchor each tyre to the ground using rebar or stakes to prevent movement.
Step 5: Fill the Tyres
Fill the inside of each tyre with gravel or soil to create a solid step. Pack the filling material firmly.
Step 6: Add Tread Surface
Top the filled tyres with a non-slip surface like paving stones, tiles, or wooden boards for added safety and aesthetics.
Step 7: Final Adjustment
Ensure all steps are securely fixed and levelled. Make any necessary adjustments and add additional filling if required for stability.
