In this video I'm forming concrete steps and I'm also forming a concrete patio. If you want to learn how to form concrete stairs, this is the video for you.

This set of concrete steps are connected to the concrete patio so we're forming them in a way that let's us pour them all at once with no seam in between.

Forming concrete steps takes a little bit of planning, like how much of a riser you want and how much of a step you want. We like a 6 - 7 inch riser and at least a 12 inch step or a little more.

We use Tapcon screws to fasten the form boards to the concrete. These screws keep the form tight to wall and don't come loose. Use the hex head ones, not the screw head ones. The hex head type won't strip out on you when you go to take them off.
