There was a point in WW1 where the war had reached a sort of stalemate where neither sides left their trenches. This caused the trenches to be huge and deep as the men had to live there.

Fire steps and scaling ladders were needed to enable troops to look over the trench.

Trench toilets called latrines were pits, dug 1.5m deep

Sandbags were placed all over the edges of the trench for bullet protection.

Barbed wire also the same but more so to protect from infantry invasion.

And in winters, there would've been a lot of mud at the bottom of the trenches especially after rain.
