Pivoting porch stairs conceal storage space

摘要

Our porch has a set of stairs in front and another on the side off the driveway. The space under the porch is adequate to house my utility trailer, so I decided to replace the rotted side steps with a door to conceal the trailer. My wife, however, wanted to keep those convenient side steps. The solution was a set of pivoting stairs. Building the stairs was easy, but I wondered how to swing them out of the way.
