In this video I'm showing you how to form concrete steps. This is my simple forming technique for forming and pouring concrete steps.
Forming and pouring a set of concrete steps requires you to know your landing height and your first step height. Then you can calculate if or how many steps you need in between the two.
Most concrete step risers are between 6 and 7.5 inches. Check with your local building codes to get it accurate for your area.
This video shows me forming a set of concrete steps eight feet wide and 4 steps high. I'm forming on top of a concrete wall. 
For more detailed information on building a set of concrete steps, check out The Concrete Underground link below. Inside there I have many concrete training videos including a more thorough video on concrete steps.
