  • 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!

  • 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.

  • take a look at anchorskirting

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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).

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