Does anyone know how to engineer or find info on how to trade name yacht steps, not comparatively a stepladder but sloping steps.?
Answers: If you look at the stairs contained by your home forget the back uprights and below each step slither left&right screw a batton support for each run , you will call for to fit one back support to prevent side collapse and respectively step must have none slip rubber fitted to prevent slipping when drizzly . second choice buy some caravan steps 2/3 or4 step .
I may be totally off roughly speaking this, but are you thinking of the sides/supports, being a curve/arch?
No sound out, it's possible to make them; maybe easier than standard house steps. Admittedly I haven't been invited to board too plentiful Yachts, and can't recall seeing that style within any library I've been surrounded by...also it seems the theory of Bunk Beds is the conservation of space. "Sloping" if it's what I envision, would hardly be space abiding.
If however my vision is correct; you select the degree/angel/curve of the slope. Create that from bed to height that you necessitate; using Plywood sheet, to accomplish the sides in a single piece. Obviously if they are for a Yacht, the stuff should at the very most minuscule be the best Marine worthy material you can find.
My thought would require a router and template or guides for the router. On the INSIDE of each side piece you'll determine a proper and comfortable tread height/spacing; later GROOVE the sides with the router after accounting for the arch/curve and that respectively tread will be level and straight down to the base of the side pieces.
The groove inevitability not be so deep as to debase the support of the sides, relating to each tread,,,because you'll affix support cleats under respectively side of every tread. You might also add support at respectively tread, THROUGH the sides, into the tread end cuts.
If these are to be involved around hose down, I'd use Mahogany, or some such for the treads,,,rounded/radiused both front and back. Then everything finished next to as many coats of ocean varnish as you equate to durability.
Excuse me if I'm off plinth; but I might just enjoy found/borrowed a new Niche open market.
