Whether you install it yourself, or have it professionally installed, the key is to begin with proper measurements. It really is very easy to measure for a stairlift. All you need is a tape measure.
Take a general overview of your stairway layout and decide which side of the staircase the stairlift will be mounted on, when viewed from the bottom. The lift may be mounted on the banister side if desired. No wall is necessary as the stairlift mounts to the stair treads, not a wall. Be aware that the stairlift rail will normally overhang the top landing by approximately 6" and meet the floor at the foot of the stairs approximately 14" beyond the nose of the first step. Let us know if you have less clearance, we can work around most any problem.
