Entrance to the Trailer

            When planning for and designing the construction trailer location and orientation, several features should be considered to help keep the inside of the trailer clean.

            First, the builder should consider placing loose clean gravel or temporary asphalt paving around the entrance to the trailer, to remove dirt and mud from shoes as people approach.

            Second, a doormat can be placed at the entrance of the trailer, allowing people to wipe off their shoes before entering and reminding them to do so.

            Third, the builder should consider providing a roof or awning over the construction trailer door and stairs or ramp, so when it is raining people can pause to wipe off their shoes underneath overhead protection.

I worked in building construction as a field superintendent and project manager. I have four books published by McGraw-Hill on housing construction (1995-98) under Bart Jahn, and have eight Christian books self-published through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). I have a bachelor of science degree in construction management from California State University Long Beach. I grew up in Southern California, was an avid surfer, and am fortunate enough to have always lived within one mile of the ocean. I discovered writing at the age of 30, and it is now one of my favorite activities. I am currently working on more books on building construction. View all posts by Barton Jahn
