General Information	General Information
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but also does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, in the opinion of Briggs & Stratton Corporation (the Company), adequate disclosures have been presented to prevent the information from being misleading, and all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of operations and financial position have been included. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted.
	Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto that were included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Prospective Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, under either full or modified retrospective adoption. Early application is not permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of this new accounting pronouncement on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flow.

Acquisitions [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions
	On August 29, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Allmand Bros., Inc. ("Allmand") of Holdrege, Nebraska for total cash consideration of $59.9 million, net of cash acquired. The total cash consideration, net of cash acquired, decreased by $2.2 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2015 due to finalization of the working capital adjustment. Allmand is a leading designer and manufacturer of high quality towable light towers, industrial heaters, and solar LED arrow boards. Its products are used in a variety of industries, including construction, roadway, oil and gas, mining, and sporting and special events. Allmand's products are generally powered by diesel engines, and distributed through national and regional equipment rental companies, equipment dealers and distributors. Allmand sells its products and service parts in approximately 40 countries. As of March 29, 2015, the Company recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation based on its initial estimates of fair value. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $15.5 million of goodwill, which was allocated to the Products Segment, and $24.1 million of intangible assets, including $15.7 million of customer relationships, $8.1 million of tradenames, and $0.3 million of other intangible assets.
	The results of operations of Allmand have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information and allocation of the preliminary purchase price are not presented as the effects of the acquisition are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Restructuring Actions [Abstract]
Restructuring Actions	Restructuring Actions
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company announced and began implementing restructuring actions to narrow its assortment of lower-priced Snapper consumer lawn and garden equipment and consolidate its Products Segment manufacturing facilities in order to reduce costs. The Company closed its McDonough, Georgia plant in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and is consolidating production into existing facilities in Wisconsin and New York.
	The Company reports restructuring charges associated with manufacturing and related initiatives as costs of goods sold within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restructuring charges reflected as costs of goods sold include, but are not limited to, termination and related costs associated with manufacturing employees, asset impairments and accelerated depreciation relating to manufacturing initiatives, and other costs directly related to the restructuring initiatives implemented. The Company reports all other non-manufacturing related restructuring charges as engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The restructuring actions discussed above resulted in pre-tax charges of $8.0 million ($5.2 million after tax or $0.11 per diluted share) and $23.3 million ($15.1 million after tax or $0.33 per diluted share) recorded within the Products Segment for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2015, respectively. Total estimated pre-tax restructuring cost estimates for the restructuring actions remain unchanged at $30 million to $37 million, including non-cash write-downs of $15 million to $20 million.
	The following is a rollforward of the restructuring reserve (included in Accrued Liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) attributable to Products Segment restructuring activities for the nine month period ended March 29, 2015 (in thousands):

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Earnings Per Share
	The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s unvested grants of restricted stock and deferred stock awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends (whether paid or unpaid), which are required to be treated as participating securities and included in the computation of basic earnings per share.
	Information on earnings per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Diluted Earnings Per Share	$	0.75		$	0.82		$	0.56		$	0.43
	The dilutive effect of the potential exercise of outstanding stock-based awards to acquire common shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. The following options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	9 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Instruments & Hedging Activities
	The Company enters into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage certain interest rate, foreign currency and commodity exposures. Company policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.
	The Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
	The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is dedesignated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge.
	In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the hedging relationship.
	The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage a portion of its interest rate risk from financing certain dealer and distributor inventories through a third party financing source. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are used to effectively fix the interest payments to a third party financing source, exclusive of lender spreads, ranging from 1.17% to 1.60% for a notional principal amount of $95 million with expiration dates ranging from July 2017 through May 2019.
	The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted third party and intercompany sales or payments denominated in foreign currencies. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollars, Chinese Renminbi, Euros, Japanese Yen or Mexican Pesos. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than twenty-four months.
	The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. The Company hedges a portion of its exposure to the variability of cash flows associated with commodities used in the manufacturing process by entering into forward purchase contracts or commodity swaps. Derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges are used by the Company to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of natural gas. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than twenty-four months.
	The Company has considered the counterparty credit risk related to all of its interest rate, foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts and deems any risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
	As of March 29, 2015 and June 29, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding derivative contracts (in thousands):

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	The following guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
	Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
	Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
	The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 29, 2015 and June 29, 2014 (in thousands):
				Fair Value Measurements Using
		March 29,		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
		2015
	Assets:
	Derivatives	$	9,771	$	—	$	9,771	$	—
	Liabilities:
	Derivatives	$	3,455	$	—	$	3,455	$	—
		June 29,		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
		2014
	Assets:
	Derivatives	$	431	$	—	$	431	$	—
	Liabilities:
	Derivatives	$	1,932	$	—	$	1,932	$	—
	The fair value for Level 2 measurements are based upon the respective quoted market prices for comparable instruments in active markets, which include current market pricing for forward purchases of commodities, foreign currency forwards, and current interest rates.
	The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
	The estimated fair value of the Company's Senior Notes (as defined in Note 16) at March 29, 2015 and June 29, 2014 was $248.6 million and $251.4 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $225.0 million on each date. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying value of the Revolver (as defined in Note 16) approximates fair value since the underlying rate of interest is variable based upon LIBOR rates.
	The Company believes that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values at March 29, 2015 and June 29, 2014 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

	The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2015 were 20.2% and 5.7%, compared to 26.1% and 26.6% for the respective periods last year. The tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2015 were primarily impacted by incremental federal research & development (R&D) tax credits related to prior years, offset by reserves for unrecognized tax positions for a net tax benefit of $4.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively. In addition, the tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was impacted by the reversal of previously recorded reserves as a result of the effective settlement of the Company’s IRS audit. The tax rates for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2014 included a taxpayer election filed pursuant to the outcome of a U.S. court case that provided the Company precedent to record a tax benefit of $2.9 million for the permanent exclusion of qualified export activity from prior years’ taxable income.
	For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2015, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits increased by $4.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, all of which impacted the current effective tax rate. This amount substantially consists of the reversal of previously recorded reserves as a result of the effective settlement of the Company’s IRS audit, offset by the recording of additional reserves associated with incremental R&D credit claimed.
	Income tax returns are filed in the U.S., state, and foreign jurisdictions and related audits occur on a regular basis. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations before fiscal 2012 and is currently under audit by various other jurisdictions. With respect to the Company's major foreign jurisdictions, they are no longer subject to tax examinations before fiscal 2004.

	Briggs & Stratton is subject to various unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of its business. These actions typically relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), patent and trademark matters, and disputes with customers, suppliers, distributors and dealers, competitors and employees.
	On May 14, 2010, the Company notified retirees and certain retirement eligible employees of various amendments to the Company-sponsored retiree medical plans intended to better align the plans offered to both hourly and salaried retirees. On August 16, 2010, a putative class of retirees who retired prior to August 1, 2006 and the United Steel Workers filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Merrill, Weber, Carpenter, et al.; United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO/CLC v. Briggs & Stratton Corporation; Group Insurance Plan of Briggs & Stratton Corporation; and Does 1 through 20, Docket No. 10-C-0700), contesting the Company's right to make these changes. The complaint seeks an injunction preventing the alleged unilateral termination or reduction in insurance coverage to the class of retirees, a permanent injunction preventing defendants from ever making changes to the retirees' insurance coverage, restitution with interest (if applicable) and attorneys' fees and costs. A class has been certified, and discovery has concluded. Both parties moved for summary judgment, which was fully briefed on December 23, 2014. Summary judgment is currently pending before the court, and no hearing date or trial date has been set.
	Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss, the Company believes the unresolved legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

	On December 20, 2010, the Company issued $225 million of 6.875% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due December 15, 2020.
	On October 21, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to its $500 million multicurrency credit agreement (the “Revolver”), which, among other things, extended the maturity of the Revolver to October 21, 2018. The initial maximum availability under the revolving credit facility is $500 million. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time to time increase the maximum availability under the revolving credit facility by up to $250 million if certain conditions are satisfied. In connection with the amendment to the Revolver in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million in new debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the life of the Revolver using the straight-line method.

Separate Financial Information Of Subsidiary Guarantor Of Indebtedness	Separate Financial Information of Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness
	Under the terms of the Company’s Senior Notes and the Revolver (collectively, the “Domestic Indebtedness”), Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group, LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, was the sole joint and several guarantor of the Domestic Indebtedness (the “Guarantor”) as of March 29, 2015 and June 29, 2014. The Guarantor provides a full and unconditional guarantee of the Domestic Indebtedness, except for certain customary limitations. These customary limitations, which are described in detail in the First Supplemental Indenture (Indenture) dated December 20, 2010, include (i) the sale of the guarantor or substantially all of the guarantor’s assets, (ii) the designation of the guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary for covenant purposes, (iii) the guarantor ceasing to guarantee certain other indebtedness, if the guarantor is also not a significant subsidiary within the meaning of Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X, and (iv) achieving the Indenture’s requirements for legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or discharge. Additionally, if at any time a domestic subsidiary of the Company constitutes a significant domestic subsidiary, then such domestic subsidiary will also become a guarantor of the Domestic Indebtedness. Currently, all of the Domestic Indebtedness is unsecured. If the Company were to fail to make a payment of interest or principal on its due date, the Guarantor is obligated to pay the outstanding Domestic Indebtedness. The Company had the following outstanding amounts related to the guaranteed debt (in thousands):
