how do you determine the run-rise of your stairs?

What is a 7-11 run-rise of a stairway? What is the degree of angle of your stairs, how do you find out?  In this video we show you how to determine what the run and rise  and angle of your stairs are. We build our standard posts to be 7-11 or 32 degrees. If you need something other than 7-11 or 32 degrees, we can build it, but it is a custom post. We just need to know what you need for your stair handrail
