Don’t Settle for Cheap and Flimsy Skirting!

If you need to replace your mobile home skirting or if you have new construction that you need to add it to, you may be considering finding something cheap and flimsy just so that you can comply with local laws. However, skirting isn’t something you should skimp on. Cheap skirting like corrugated steel or pieces of vinyl siding can look alright at first, but the first strong wind storm or heavy snow of the season can leave your cheap stuff flopping around, broken, or just plain missing! If you instead opt for some quality mobile home skirting, you will not only give your home a clean and completed look, but it also makes your mobile home more livable. It will look great in front of ugly structural elements like the foundation pylons, plumbing, and electrical utilities and it will insulate the underside of your home and retain warmth during cold winters to save on expensive heating costs and prevent costly repairs from frozen pipes. In warmer months, mobile home skirting will keep the hot summer air from building underneath and radiating through the floor of your home, making it easier to keep cool. It’s also a great barrier to keep animals who can chew through wires and moisture which causes rot or other structural damage out from under your home. Mobile home skirting isn’t just about insulation and protection from the elements and nature, though; it’s also a functional element that can create valuable storage space under your home. Now, seasonally needed things like lawn care tools and mowers, outdoor games, sleds, or holiday decorations can be stored under your home behind the skirting without taking up precious space inside. You even have space to stash dirty things that you don’t want left outside, but don’t necessarily want inside either.

To determine how much skirting you’ll need for your mobile home, simply measure the perimeter of your home. Don’t forget any bump-outs or protrusions that might come off of your home. Then simply order that length or just a little bit extra in your choice of style that satisfies your taste for the look of your home. You’ll also need venting and an access door. A common guideline is at least one vent in the skirting for every 150 sq. ft. of floor space inside your home, but you should check local building code to determine how many are required where you live. If you need any help, give us a call and we’ll make sure you get everything you need for your mobile home skirting project.
