The Mobile Home Stuff Install Video!

This is bogus! A manufactured home cannot be set in a stem wall. All loade transfer to the I-beams.These contractors are filling you full of horse feathers or they don't know whatb they are doing!

[PolyVulcUSA]

Well, clearly it's not stem wall, and the home has already been set on concrete piers, so the load is taken up by those. PolyWall is strictly used as a backfillable wall system, superior in durability to standard vinyl skirting, and actually is load rated (axial and transverse, but we never have nor ever will specify the wall to be used as a vertical "Support system" of any sort), tested, and listed by NTA, inc. But hey, we appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

@PolyVulcUSA PolyVulcUSA, pay no mind to those that don't even do what you do day in and day out. I've noticed how others seem to think they are experts at everything. How do they know? Where do they get this great knowledge and wisdom (so called) that is giving them the authority to call you out on something that you do professionally. I give you props for providing me with this free information. I am in great need of something like this. However, God made me rich, not wealthy.

@PolyVulcUSA I bought my 2 and a half acre strip out of foreclosure and the modular home was already existing. It is a double-wide Clayton built in '97. The spot where it sits is on a downgraded slope. So, the back of the house is much closer to the ground than the front is. Atleast twice as high off the ground in the front. I checked out Blevins' prices on the artificial looking stone. Thats not particularly what I like. My wife and I want to refinance into a better mortgage.

[WaggonerB11]

@WaggonerB11 In order to do that better interest rated loan, we must have a permanent foundation. It is anchored, but thats not good enough for the banks. If we can refi our loan, we can get a rate that would save us thousands. A Hundred thousands...Literally! Anyway, if anyone has any EXPERT advice or advice that God is leading you to give me. It would be very much appreciated. I am suppossed to get with my bank by Friday. I need to get an estimate for a permanent foundation.

Just a quick note - you might want to check the home manufacturer's installation manual for the venting requirements. I don't think 8 vents is even a 1/4 of what is required. The min standard I have seen is 1 sq. ft. of free vent per 150 sq. ft. of floor space. That house prob requires at least 20 of those vents you were installing. If it's a 32X76(box), you need 16.2 sq ft of free vent - that's 2332.8 sq in. You might have 600 sq in. on that home now.

I have to admit tho. I love manufactured homes so much more than a real house.

[copperautis]

This is a "real house." Maunfactured homes a more heavily regulated than site built. There is the in-plant quality system, then they are required to bring in a 3rd party inspector called the IPIA, then there are HUD monitoring teams that follow-up on the IPIAs. I am on a monitoring team. I can't think of a single site built home that is designed to carry 2 times its own weight - HUD code homes will do that - mimimum!

I believe it was 32 x 80. It was monster! LOL

[85bmw528eguy]

Is this availible to the homeowner? I have a 24 X 56 in Tennessee and would like to know expensive it is.

[forceuser01]

You'd have to get a hold of Blevins, Inc., in Nashville for pricing in that area.... (615) 228-2614.

Yes, it is certainly available to the homeowner!. Go for it!

Each panel is 4 feet long by 40 inches tall....so, you're looking at around 2 skids of panels (they come in skids of 24 panels each).

[WaggonerB11]

@forceuser01 You know its funny that you would mention that. I have been to Blevins multiple times. I am a Modular homeowner. And, I am faced with a situation pertaining to this video. My home was installed before I purchased the land that it sits on. I would of had PolyWall installed on my home if I had been the one to purchase my Clayton. Unfortunately, my uncle chose the much less inexpensive option of skirt siding. thumbs down. Now, I have a holy foundation from years of abuse.

Holey shit is that 90 footer Home?
