How to Build Unilock Steps

Steps made from Unilock require tapered units, coping units and pavers. The height of each step for the stairs should be between 4 inches and 6 inches. When the steps of the stairs are low you will require a deeper tread for the step. You can build steps from Unilock by first determining where the steps will be located and then preparing the ground for the Unilock product.

  Apply a layer of sand to the bottom of the stairs. Place pavers in a row that will be part of the first step.

  Lay the tapered units in a row behind the pavers. Apply two to three beads of a concrete adhesive to the top of the tapered units. Place the coping units on the adhesive and press down. This will finish the first step.

  Apply a layer of sand behind the first step and lay a second row of pavers. Lay the tapered units behind the pavers and then attach the coping units. Repeat this process until you have finished the stairs.
