https://www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/design/stairs/index.html - Did you know a steep entryway slope can be a major trip hazard? In this video, I break down an unusual design flaw I spotted at San Diego’s Balboa Park and show you exactly how to fix it!

We’ll cover why this original sloped walkway doesn't quite work and how a simple fix like adding a single step and adjusting the concrete to the standard quarter-inch per foot slope for water drainage can make the entrance much safer and cleaner. I also dive into important building code requirements to keep in mind, including when and where to install grippable handrails or guardrails on commercial and public buildings.

Whether you are dealing with a trip hazard on your own property or just love learning about construction and building codes, this easy fix will point you in the right direction!
