I am also building a raised patio with a design similar to Anon's. We have french doors that create a "bump" out. We plan to create 3 stairs onto a raised patio that will continue to circle out to the left (if you're walking down the stairs from the french doors). This area will hold the table and grill. Then to the left, we would like to add a few more long stairs from the raised patio to go to another level that's flush with the grass. This will hold a 10x10 patio and a fire pit. This will also circle out wider to the right of the house. We are having a problem figuring out how to connect the stairs to the bump out since it is open beneath. I have attached a picture. I could use recommendations on how to solve this problem. Also, if you think our design could use some help, I would really appreciate suggestions on that as well. Thanks in advance.
