Hi guys, I'm looking for some help finding a Canadian Spiralcase maker, not steel, we don;'t have room to get one in the house. So we are looking for a reasonable priced woodem spiral staircase. Prefer Western canada, due to shipping costs. Fairly plain & simple staircase is all we are looking for . Our house  is far from new & a "high end" staircase isn't warrented. Thanks for your help.   Ron       rdtoolmaker@gmail.com

A steel sprial stair kit is the least expensive. It will come shipped in several boxes. The center pole is the largest item.

They are easy to install and sturdy. Do a search to find the closest manufacture near you.

having built several of these stairs from scratch over the years a kit would probally be the easist way to do one the one i have in my house i used a barn beam for the main post as i hve barn beams in my ceiling in the great room that the stairs leads from the treads are 1 1\2 ïnch oak for spindels i used 1/2 inch steel going through the treads on the bottom & welded to a piece of channel on the top to reinforce the structure i welded a horse shoe between the spindles in every second space for a railing i got 1/4 x 3 1/2 x 1/4 oak & laminated them in place ( lots of clamps & glue ) this setup looks alright as the building is circa 1875 stone and everything looks a bit rustic i did another set for a job & used a steel well casing as the main post & welded tread supports to it & the rest was similar to the first one note: do not wax the treads !

Yeah, and his shift key and return key are apparently not working.

I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. --Thomas Edison
