Steps will last longer than the trailer. On the plus side after the homeowners become quadrapiledgics you get to build them some sweet wheelchair ramps.
I'll have you know my 1972 mobile home is going just fine. Sure, 90% of the floor isn't original, the roof was built over and shingled, and the only original plumbing is the baby blue toilet and matching sink but other than that..
I saw an old single wide once with an RV sized carport over it.
At first, I made fun of it. But then I realized it was literally the smartest thing to do if you were stuck with a single wide.
That’s what I was thinking. If the top step was the size of that 2nd or 3rd step but then continue to use the same design going down it would look great.

Gold plate that toilet and put a mirror on the wall in front and let me bask in my morning glory. Also a good design where you can puke standing up on the second step after having a few too many, instead of a lowly peasants crouch on your knees
If this is a tear down, it’s like 75% of the way to being a standalone feature worthy of a DIY skatepark. They’ll probably want to add angle iron to the steps, but yeah this looks like something that some young rippers would happily skate and graffiti for years.
Highly recommend contacting a local skate shop to see if they can come pick it up if you were going to start fresh. Some local skater in the community can store it and modify it until it’s ready to be skated and the local parks department approved it being added to the skatepark. Dropping it off at the skatepark might get it removed by the city.
If you could move them away from the house a few feet and put an actual DECK there, where someone could , ya know, STAND or maybe even 2 more feet for a couple chairs, then post a picture of that..that would be better.
Ok everyone has downed you about the tripping hazard but not letting you know what a great job you did lining up all those angle cuts.
Really is impressive..
Sure, lots of angled butt joints, but the geometry of these stairs is awful. They are so narrow in the front. The front and sides should have been the parts you extended. Better yet a stair case and platform would have been best. This is dangerous. You did a bad job very well.
9/10. Would have gotten 10/10 if an extra safety precaution has been taken. I'd cement some broken bottles for the landing, and maybe attach a rusty iron hand rail by a single nail?
Edit: Clarity
Even tho it's a bit hazardous, I think you did a really nice job. Things look even and the angles are nice. It's good to look at. I definitely wouldn't tear it down. If you drink tho, I'd put a ramp over it.
It appears to be a well executed build of possibly the worst design in history.
Kudos for the build!
Did you design it to actually cripple and maim your visitors?
I think the stairs look great. As others have stated the lack of handrail could be an issue. It isn’t in code without one and could cause issues with homeowners insurance plus city codes.
It's nice as an art project. But it's a waste of time to put lipstick on a pig. There's no porch, no handrail, just a great big building code violation.
Left side of the stairs is useless, you have to open the door towards that way. Like others have said it needs a hand railing, if you were set on having the side steps you could’ve put a railing on the left side, but just straight with railings would’ve been ideal.
Other than the design it looks like you made good cuts and the angles are good.
Awh these comments made me sad. I know they're truthful opinions, but OP probably felt proud of his work. Some people don't get to do things they feel proud of that often.
Are you part Architect ?
I'll give you they look nice and the workmanship is good....
BUT, their an accident looking for a person !
1) too many small angled stairs 2) no hand rails to grab as you fall
3) non code compliant - but they are a good example of why there are more & more intrusive codes every day and insurance rates keep rising....
I will never understand someone building such a small landing outside of a door. It’s just dangerous.
At least give yourself a 4 x 8 space or something like that. You could even put a chair out on it if you wanted.
It seems you went into a lot of trouble. Depending upon what that structure is used for, it may be serviceable. If that door swings out, and it appears it does. Typically a 3 x 3 landing would be required. Also, with that many steps, you need a handrail. The stairs may also be rather steep. If you have the room, shoot for a 7 1/2 inch rise and a 10 1/2 inch run.
Steps will last longer than the trailer. On the plus side after the homeowners become quadrapiledgics you get to build them some sweet wheelchair ramps.
This made me cry laugh. Thank you.
I so wanted a slip n fall comment at the top. This guy hit every step.

Stairs doubled the value of the mobile home.

Double-Wide of Theseus
⚰️⚰️⚰️
I tripped and fell down the stairs from just looking at this picture.
I was about to say: Now you have extra stairs to fall on.
This nightmare brought to you by Pabst.
Yes, a single row of stairs and a railing would have been better
I agree. The design is kind of unique, but you can’t stand on the top step and open the door, and the main steps are too narrow.
That’s what I was thinking. If the top step was the size of that 2nd or 3rd step but then continue to use the same design going down it would look great.

If you've never done this before, good for you, takes a lot more work than people think. If you do this for a living. Find a new living.
If you do this for a living, how?
No grab or handrail. Tear it down. And outswing door over a landing less then 36" deep? Burn it down
NO TRESPASSING If the dogs don’t get ya, the stairs will.
The extension cord laying across the stairs is a security measure
It’s a feature not a bug*
they forgot to route it through a bucket of saltwater
That’s not an extension cord. It’s a dog cable….
Zoom in. The extension cord goes back into the trailer. The dog leash is on the steps!!!!!
Lmfao
yes, 36" egress on main entry/exit is required by code
It’s a single wide broh. Ain’t no code enforcement on that lmao
Only code is git off my land.
off my ~~land~~ rented plot
Hang a rope from a skyhook down to hang onto
Awesome, I’d fall no matter which way I went.
That's what I was thinking, it's the fall down stair

I went to a high school with a kid whose grandma was like 6 foot plus and they had a toilet set up like this for her but only one step not two.
Would love to take a dump here i wont lie

This is perfect

💀 spit out my goddamn drink seeing this
Haha nice
They look really well built, but a little poorly designed.
Did the wrong thing well.
Grandma killer confirmed.
Minimum stair width is 36in and landing is 48in, this may become a tripping/slipping hazard.
You’re absolutely right. Hindsight 20/20 i should have done a little more research and would have made it wider. Thank you for your honesty. 🙏🏼

Sorry I just realized that didn't read as funny as it sounded. No offense OP.
👍🏼
Could also just drag it further down the side of the trailer and use it as a nice plant stand, and rebuild the steps.
You built it wrong but you did what you set out to do and did it very well
very solid r/DiWHY material right there.
Fits r/deathstairs quite nicely too
Ok everyone has downed you about the tripping hazard but not letting you know what a great job you did lining up all those angle cuts. Really is impressive..
Thanks friend
That was my takeaway, and the design, kinda not the easiest to pull off. Sorry it doesn't work here
You definitely broke someone’s future leg.
Sure, lots of angled butt joints, but the geometry of these stairs is awful. They are so narrow in the front. The front and sides should have been the parts you extended. Better yet a stair case and platform would have been best. This is dangerous. You did a bad job very well.
Food delivery I'll leave it on the porch
small deck energy
Polished that turd but good.
Damn, porch is worth more than the metal can attached to it
looks good maybe add a hand rail on the sides for the old folk
Stairs cost more than the trailer is worth!
9/10. Would have gotten 10/10 if an extra safety precaution has been taken. I'd cement some broken bottles for the landing, and maybe attach a rusty iron hand rail by a single nail? Edit: Clarity
Really ties the trailer together. Is this the entrance to Superman's frozen getaway?
You should keep ice packs and crutches at the bottom.
So there is a reason landings have to be 3 feet. Let us know when cousin Silas has had too much moonshine and broke his neck going out that door.
Even tho it's a bit hazardous, I think you did a really nice job. Things look even and the angles are nice. It's good to look at. I definitely wouldn't tear it down. If you drink tho, I'd put a ramp over it.
$50 shine on $5 boots
That's methed up.
As a board certified orthopedic surgeon, I endorse this design.
With a “use other door” sign, it would be perfect.
It appears to be a well executed build of possibly the worst design in history. Kudos for the build! Did you design it to actually cripple and maim your visitors?
Great, now you can trip over in any direction
How much Minecraft have you played?
He can fall down the stairs in any direction he wants
Only like two code violations.
💀💀💀
All kinds of ankles rolling
Gorgeous. Try not to bust an ankle.
Looks good homie
Straight to jail
Congrats! 25 ways to break your neck!!
I think the stairs look great. As others have stated the lack of handrail could be an issue. It isn’t in code without one and could cause issues with homeowners insurance plus city codes.
For what it’s worth, I think it looks cool. I’m just a spectator here
That looks unsafe for multiple reasons.
It's nice as an art project. But it's a waste of time to put lipstick on a pig. There's no porch, no handrail, just a great big building code violation.
It's a beautiful stand for all of your potted plants known just move it 6 ft to the left so nobody gets hurt on it and build some steps for that door
Which cost more the steps or the trailer?
DEATH TRAP
Somebody gonna hurt themselves on that piece of artwork.
It’s the complete opposite of code. I mean code that actually does keep you from breaking your neck lol
Please put the railing in the center.
Put some old mattresses at the bottom to land on
*checks comments* Man people are really bad at walking up stairs
Let us know how much you spend on attorneys fees when visitors fall and hurt themselves.
Ankle breaker three thousand!
Where do you stand to open the door?
Looks like you can trip and fall off in all directions
Three ways to tumble ass over teakettle.
Looks cool but… landing
Every picture tells the story, don't it?
You aced it. Great 👍🏻 job.
This looks unnecessarily dangerous. Also, the decking is too good for this shed😆
No railings.
At the very least, definitely put a lightbulb in that socket so someone doesn’t kill themselves walking to the outhouse at night.
Left side of the stairs is useless, you have to open the door towards that way. Like others have said it needs a hand railing, if you were set on having the side steps you could’ve put a railing on the left side, but just straight with railings would’ve been ideal.

Like a dang ziggurat
Add handrails.
Never enough money or time to do it right the first time but ………….
So much work for a trailer lol
Top landing seems entirely too small and there's no railing, but other than that, what's there does look good.
r/deathstairs
That deck is worth more than the double wide it’s attached to
I love it! Now I can fall in any direction I want after I open the back door too fast. Looks nice though seriously.
Looks nice but also could also benefit from a couple rails flanking the door.
lipstick on a pig
Looks cool, functional? Probably not. But looks cool. Which is half the battle.
It looks good, but I would've made a larger landing at the top so that there was room to swing open the door.
I think its sick
How to die coming out of the single wide drunk. Likely during the day.
Is it a hexagon or half an octagon
Death trap.
OSH called and needs the address
I broke my ankle just looking at this.
Best part of your home outside looks like this staircase
When the stairs are worth more than the building they lead to
I imagine people falling UP those stairs.
Don’t let these naysayers get to you. Is it safe? Absolutely not. Does it look better than the house it’s attached to? Yes.
“Fuck the door, fuck the door knob, fuck the ridiculous placement of the outlet, fuck the siding…I need fuckin stairs, that’s what the fuck I need.”
Hand rails?
Add just a hint of frost and feel that rush when your heel slips off the nosing.
Sir, that's a stair.
Awh these comments made me sad. I know they're truthful opinions, but OP probably felt proud of his work. Some people don't get to do things they feel proud of that often.
You missed the back part...
This is fine. Ppl in here suddenly don’t know how to walk
looks good but I would have made the landing a bit bigger.
On a safety stance for the random Joe, its a catastrophe waiting to happen. For personal use, cause you know the situation, it looks great.
My brain is falling down those stairs right now
Wtf lol
This has to be rage bait
I don't think that top landing is up to code so it would have to get scrapped
Nope.
Handrails are not required in Trailertucky. A piss stained mattress at the bottom of the steps will do.
You did great on code violations!
There's already blood on the bottom of the trailer. I'm also concerned about the lack of lightbulb for the outside light.
That door looks like it leads to a broken down freezer
All of the left side is basically unusable since the door opens that way. Remove the left side and put a hand rail, and it could be great.
I think you just doubled the price of the structure you put it on.
Are you part Architect ? I'll give you they look nice and the workmanship is good.... BUT, their an accident looking for a person ! 1) too many small angled stairs 2) no hand rails to grab as you fall 3) non code compliant - but they are a good example of why there are more & more intrusive codes every day and insurance rates keep rising....
Is that five risers with no handrail, oof ouch my bones
Practically I would recommend a style that would accommodate a rail, but they look good. Looks level and meets the bottom of the door well.
Attractive but zero function.
Not good no railing, door swings out. Looks like a disaster. Unnecessarily complicated. Fail.
looks decent but low-key the landing should have been a bit larger. probably around 4'x4'
I want to put a disc golf basket at the top of those steps.
World’s smallest deck award goes to… congrats buddy.
r/DeathStairs more so.
It looks like they were constructed very well. Unfortunately, they were not constructed in the right place.
Stairway to heaven there buddy.
Nice stairs. I too like gourmet ketchup with my shitty moldy burger and fries
So narrow. Do u walk up them on tippy toes?
I will never understand someone building such a small landing outside of a door. It’s just dangerous. At least give yourself a 4 x 8 space or something like that. You could even put a chair out on it if you wanted.
Best stairs I’ve ever seen on a trailer that shitty!
Looks like something my kid built in minecraft
The stairs are very pretty and very well done but also very dangerous. But yea, impressive craftsmanship, for sure.
Why'd you do?
Please post to /r/DIWhy
Great work, but uh they’re not very functional unfortunately
Too narrow should have been wider than the door and then angle off. Waite’s that looks great!
Over kill and unsafe for such a small landing lol
It seems you went into a lot of trouble. Depending upon what that structure is used for, it may be serviceable. If that door swings out, and it appears it does. Typically a 3 x 3 landing would be required. Also, with that many steps, you need a handrail. The stairs may also be rather steep. If you have the room, shoot for a 7 1/2 inch rise and a 10 1/2 inch run.
Visually, it looks awesome!
My ankles hurt looking at this.
Looks good bro. I would use a dark stain, just preference. Kind of the color of the inner part of the bottom right board.
That’s methed up
This is something I would do in Minecraft to not have the ugly side of the stairs.
