Mobile Home Trailer Skirting | Rodent Proofing 

Me too

Did you make a video to share ?

I framed it with pressure treated plywood, then added faux stone panels to it.

Thanks for watching!

Tha k you forthis vexio. Thanks thanks. Ps what co would do this type of work

Mercy!!

That’s where the home owner (client ) tells them what they expect / want. I’m a contractor and I do jobs according to what the client has asked me to price . Just like this video the steps has no landing by code where I am at steps must have a landing where you come out the door. Plus I saw no ventilation that can cause dry rot and condensation.

@@danbailey96 I was wondering about it not having ventilation, but not being a contractor myself thought maybe it's different in different climates/zones.

@@danbailey96 disagee. What about a first time homeowner that really doesnt know ANY thing about ANY of that? Seems to me there is a right way and a wrong way to do something and you as a proffessional in my opinion do what you know is RIGHT and explain that in the quote. If they feel they can get the job done the RIGHT way for less than thats where they get a second or third quote and then compare what is being omitted in the quote that is less or more. Ya cant know whats the right way unless you look at the situation and can think of the climate of location and know what it necessitates. Thats like " buyer be ware" people put their faith in these people to do a job in their field of expertise. If I knew anything about it. Id be doing it myself!!!!

Double up on heat tape strips (one on each side of the main) wrap it all with extra thick insulation, use one strip most times, but power them both on when it is very cold or leave a tap open a bit to prevent freezing.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching

Yes

That is what I was wondering

I wish there was an intelligent response given to your question as this seems crucial and like a grave mistake this video has not considered... Another youtube-expert classes that will leave many very upset is my best guess here.

Thank you!

What is the general cost to do skirting this way? Can it be done so there are 2 access doors......and what would the cost be doing it that way? Can insulation be put up for added warmth in the winter in areas where we endure high winds with resultant subzero temperatures?

@@deborahleedlb Hello, The cost depends on how much Material is in your area. It's not hard to do. I have done a few Mobil Homes. It was around $600,00 for Labor and Materials. But that was 7 years ago. I would say it's double that now.

@dereksellars ......geez, where is your abode? I would pay to have you come, put you up for the few days it takes to do it...... I would love love love to have you come and do my skirting!!! One thing I'm especially looking for is the use of insulation or using insulated skirting. I'm in northwest Ohio. We do get some subzero temperatures during the winter and high winds anytime all year round. We out in farming territory so rodents are an issue. So that bracing and rodent-proofing is a plus on a number of fronts. Insulation would be an additional plus. There is also the issue of heavy rains turning the land into a pond all the way around my unit. I wonder if there's a way to keep rain water from getting under the house? This really is quite impressive!!! I'm chomping at the bit to have something like this, and to have someone like you, to do my skirting.

@@dereksellars $600,000?? I think you mean $6,000.

@@12thDecember My bad. Yes I meant $6000. Thanks :):)

Thank you!
