Other Mobile Home Skirting Kits You Can Choose From

By Jocelyn Davidson


Mobile homes have been around for a while and most people prefer them over the ordinary houses. Aside from the fact that they are cheaper and more convenient, they can also easily be moved from one place to another. However, this kind of house is not usually fitted for someone who is raising a family or people who have kids.

Trailers are the usual structure used as a mobile home and just like any other house, you would want to make sure that it is as appealing to the eyes as the others. One way that you can improve the beauty of your home is through mobile home skirting kits. These are used to cover the lower area of a mobile home in a decorative way.

There are others who opt to just have their house in direct contact to the ground. But there are also some who want to elevate their houses so that it would not compromise the plumbing. When there are pipes sticking underneath your home, it does not really pass for appealing to the eyes of most people. To solve this problem, you can have a skirting around the empty space.

One of the usual material that is used in the skirting process is vinyl. It is a good material. The only drawback is that it is very common. And it has the tendency to look very boring and very plain.

Right before you do the skirting process it is important that you prepare first. You need to take the measurements of the width and the height of the skirt that you will need. Experts say that it would be better to add at least two inches on the actual measurement when putting up the covering.

You also need to make sure that your pipes are properly insulated before you cover everything up. This would prevent them from freezing up. The skirting should also have vents for the air to move freely. You can also opt to install an access point where you can get in when there are pipes that need to be fixed.

If you want a durable yet cheap alternative for vinyl, tin is always the number one choice. It as the capacity to endure heavy weather. Most people prefer anodized tin to make the paint stick longer. When the paint wears off immediately, the tin becomes textured and it is not good to look at. A roofing tin that is galvanized is also a good choice for skirting.

Cinder blocks are also a good option for those who want to have a long lasting skirt in their mobile homes. They are easy to install but they will surely take your time. But if you are aiming for a durable covering, this is would be worth all your effort. Aside form it is durable, it can also provide additional insulation for the pipes.

If you want variety and the freedom to design the skirting based on your own, you can choose pickets. These are materials that are often used as fences. They are weather resistant and are lightweight which means that they are easy to work with.
