How to buy mobile home skirtingSkirting on your mobile home makes it look better. Covering the layer from the bottom of your manufactured housing to the ground gives it a more stable appearance, prevents animals from seeking shelter under your home, and simply makes your house more appealing. Buying mobile home skirting can be a bit confusing, however, so we have explained it below to help you make the best decision for your budget and family. If you are ready to purchase, shop for vinyl skirting packages or for individual skirting panels and we will have the necessary supplies headed your way as soon as possible.

Vinyl skirting - the piecesThere are four types of pieces that are used when putting new vinyl skirting on your home. Skirting panels, top front, top back, and ground track. Four of the top front pieces need to be notched to create a smooth look to the four corners of your home. Also included in the vinyl skirting package screws to hold the top back to the house and stakes to hold the ground track to the earth.
Skirting is sold in 12' vertical lengths. Top front, top back, and ground track are sold in 12' horizontal lengths. But the pieces are really 11'8"/ Skirting is cut and installed vertically, while the other pieces are kept horizontal. Gets confusing, right? Let's slow it down.
Your house may be 2' or less off the ground, but it just as easily might be 4' or more. The higher your manufactured housing sits off the ground, the longer you will cut the pieces of skirting.
That's why it is so important to know the average height from the ground to the bottom of your mobile home.
Measure the height at each of the four corners, as well as the middle point of each of the four sides, to get your average height and determine how much skirting you need.
Installing mobile home skirting Installing skirting on your mobile home can be done easily by hiring a professional. Purchase all the skirting you need here at CompleteMH to get the best value on supplies. A quality professional installer can completely "trim out" a manufactured home with skirting in half a day. Following the simple instructions below you could save on installation cost by doing it yourself - just be careful you are not getting in over your head!
- Put up the top back to the base of the house with the 1" hex-head screws included in the trim kit.
- Using a plumb line or level to ensure a straight drop, secure the bottom track to the ground using the 7" spikes provided.
- Cut your skirting panels to size. Place lower edge of panels in bottom track, resting top edge on the top back. Interlock each panel side by side as you add the panels around your mobile home.
- Add the top front, interlocking with the top back as shown in the picture, sandwiching the top edge of the skirting panel in between.
