It&#8217;s not only cost-effective but also durable. Made from high-quality vinyl, it needs minimal maintenance and can endure various weather conditions, such as moisture, pests, and UV rays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to traditional skirting materials like wood or metal, Deluxe Vinyl Skirting is resistant to rot or rust, making it a reliable and durable solution for your mobile home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This skirting type usually features panels with vertical lines and comes in different colors and styles to match your home&#8217;s outer appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vented Vinyl Skirting<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike solid skirting, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/parts\/595100.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vented Vinyl Skirting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows proper air circulation under your mobile home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is that important, you ask?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Vented Vinyl Skirting for Mobile Homes<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy Efficiency:<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unventilated crawl spaces can trap heat in the summer and cold air in the winter, making your HVAC system work harder. This can lead to higher energy bills and unnecessary wear on your heating and cooling systems. Maintaining a stable temperature in your home will reduce strain on your systems and save on energy costs, creating a more comfortable living space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing Mold and Moisture Buildup:<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vented skirting not only helps regulate temperature but also prevents moisture buildup, keeping mold at bay. Without proper ventilation, moisture can accumulate beneath your home, creating an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew. Mold damages your home&#8217;s structure and poses health risks to your family.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safely Releasing Hazardous Gases:<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plumbing and soil beneath your mobile home may release hazardous gases like methane and radon. These gases can accumulate without proper ventilation, posing severe health risks. Ventilation systems provide a safe escape route for these gases, protecting your family from potential health threats.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lessening Odors and Promoting Healthy Airflow:<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper ventilation helps disperse odors and promotes healthy airflow, ensuring the air you breathe is fresh and clean. Unventilated crawl spaces can trap odors, making them linger and permeate your living spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before Buying Deluxe Vinyl Skirting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you thinking about buying deluxe <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/category\/VS.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vinyl skirting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Before you make a hasty decision, there are some essential things to think about:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much Skirting Does Your Mobile Home Need?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the time to figure out how much skirting you&#8217;ll need. Skirting comes in large lots with slightly varying sizes. If you don&#8217;t order enough, it can cause problems. Knowing the right amount will help make your project much more manageable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measure the Perimeter<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3977\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/latestnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/66.jpg\" alt=\"Measuring the Perimeter of your Mobile Home diagram\" width=\"1350\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/latestnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/66.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/latestnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/66-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/latestnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/66-1024x493.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/latestnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/66-768x370.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\" \/>Add up each side of your mobile home to find the perimeter. For example, round up to the nearest foot if your width is 23\u2032 6\u2033.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if your double wide is 27 feet wide and 50 feet long, add 27+27+50+50 to get 154 feet. Don&#8217;t multiply the width by the length; we need the perimeter footage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost of Mobile Home Skirting<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know the perimeter, you can calculate the material cost based on the number of skirting panels you need. Different skirting types have varying panel dimensions. Check the listed dimensions of a skirting panel and use the perimeter of your mobile home to find out how many panels you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if your perimeter is 154 feet and each panel is 48\u2033 x 18 1\/2\u2033, you&#8217;d do 154\/48 = 3.2083. So, you would need 4 skirting panels.

Here&#8217;s a simplified guide to get you started:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepare the Ground:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure the ground is level and free of debris before starting the installation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attach Back Rail:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a spot just below the home&#8217;s edge for strong support. Keep the back rail straight and level by using a chalk line. Secure it with screws or nails in the center of the slot, leaving a 1\/16&#8243; gap for temperature changes. Allow a 1\/2&#8243; gap between back rail sections to accommodate thermal expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mount Bottom Rail:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready the ground and use treated 2&#8243;x 2&#8243; lumber to prevent uneven settling. Mark the ground directly below each corner of the home. Place the bottom rail with the back leg inside the chalk line. Drive <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/parts\/590110.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ground spikes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> every 19 inches, or choose the provided holes. For concrete installation, use a 3\/4&#8243; masonry nail or a 3\/16&#8243; molly screw with a plastic sleeve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place Panels:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measure from the ground up to 1 1\/2&#8243; above the back rail edge. Cut panels at a 90-degree angle to the home&#8217;s bottom edge. Use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/Merchant2\/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Product_Code=590150\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snap Lock Punch Tool <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to punch lock tabs every 4&#8243; along the top and bottom edge of the cut panels. Interlock panels, starting with the first one in the bottom rail, form sections of about 12 ft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interlock Top Front Rail With Top Back Rail:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snap one end of the front top rail into the back top rail, creating an interlock. Push the front top rail upward until it is completely interlocked with the back rail. Overlap 1 inch for each top rail section.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure Corners:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Top Back Rail:<\/strong> Make a 1-inch vertical slit from the top and notch 45 degrees on the bottom curved leg.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Bottom Rail:<\/strong> Notch the back portion with snips, bend around a corner, and attach to the ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Panels:<\/strong> Cut to proper height and bend at corners.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Top Front Rail:<\/strong> Notch at both the top and bottom hooks, bend around the corner, and interlock with the top back rail.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finishing Touches:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trim any excess material, ensuring a clean and professional appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mobilehomepartsstore.com\/vinyl_skirting_installation.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vinyl Skirting Installation Instructions PDF<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for more information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deluxe Vinyl Skirting Maintenance Tips<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular maintenance of your mobile home skirting can extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips to help you maintain your new skirting:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Regular Check-ups:<\/strong> Look for any damage or loose parts, especially after bad weather.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Stay Clean:<\/strong> Keep the skirting clean by washing it with soap and water to prevent mold and mildew.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Bug Watch:<\/strong> Check for signs of pests regularly and take action if you see any.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ventilation Check:<\/strong> Make sure the vents are clear so air can flow properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Fix or Replace:<\/strong> If you find any damaged areas, fix or replace them immediately to prevent more extensive problems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>No Painting:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t paint your skirting; it&#8217;s not needed, and it could void the warranty from Mobile Home Parts Store.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Clear the Area:<\/strong> Keep grass and plants away.
