Concrete Skirting for Manufactured Homes
Skirting for Manufactured Homes Made to Look Site-Built
Considering community desires today, manufactured homes must include fitting into residential neighborhoods. In order to accomplish this, the home essentially needs to look site-built. This is where concrete skirting for manufactured homes is useful.
Most often, site-built homes have a poured-in-place perimeter foundation stem-wall and footing. This is called a foundation and it supports the weight of the home on the perimeter. In some ways this can be detrimental as it is subject to weather and moisture. A better system is to support the structure under the home and tucked away from natures elements.
Conversely, manufactured homes are supported away from the perimeter of the home. Not only is this a good design but it’s actually a great design. So, how do you take a great design and apply a skirting matching site-built structures? Well, there are a couple of methods to accomplish this.
The first method is pouring a stem-wall foundation, although entirely unnecessary, around the perimeter. This method is the costliest method and requires a manufactured home to be lifted over and set inside the wall. Although, sometimes the wall can be poured under the home after the setup. Obviously, many contractors loathe doing this for customers.
