This simple step is perfect for tackling those pesky height differences, whether it’s climbing into a camper or reaching that classic novel on the top shelf.

After completing a larger project — like a tiny house — you’re often left with scraps of wood (and a need for a sturdy step). That’s where this design comes in! It’s made to repurpose leftover offcuts, giving them a second life.

We’re still refining the minimum dimensions for a stable and durable step,. but the diagonal supports should do the trick. In this configurator you can set the height and width of the step as well as the dimensions of the beams.

For the steps themselves, using leftover boards is a faster and more budget-friendly option.
