the easiest way to build steps is with 6x6 treated timbers set with 24 inch re-bar[sorry i don't speak metric...lol.] each step is 14 inches deep with a six inch rise. i put down 5oz. landscape fabric under 9a crushed stone base.this is based on removing the sod and i often cut and fit flagstone between the timbers.
