The HUD Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing 1996 Ed. requires all permanent foundations bear below the frost line (100-1.C.1.c) As shown these will not meet the frost depth requirements for most areas of the country and thus will not meet HUD requirements.
well that sounds good but that wouldnt pass inspection in midland county michigan i just put in a manufactured home and i had to put in 16 inch round footings which had to be 42 inches deep your guys footing will still move with frost heaving from frost is the second strongest force in the world besides plate tectonics so your guys solution sucks
I have a Sure Safe Steel Buttress foiundation and I take offence to your remarks which I find to be bassless. This is the only foundation that turne a manufactured home into a real home--ask someone who has one. I can only conclude you have no experience with the foundation or your are a competitor.
@finneysxviper Next time try a frost protected shallow foundation, it will save you a lot of money and you will only have to dig a 14" footing with insulation around the footing and the enclosure. This will keep the frost from migrating under the home, while the heat loss will keep the ground conditioned at 65 degrees.
Mine it set on a flat block and then jack stand on top of that block And there is flood straps holding it down...
