Problem with Vinyl Mobile Home Skirting
Every six months I have to fix one side of the house and I'm sick to death of it. When it rains low spots form right under the track, the track warps like crazy and the bottom of the skirting goes everywhere. I fill in the dips, straighten the track, replace all the skirting, and screw it in place. Six months later it happens again, dips form, the track warps and the skirting is out of place again. I've done this probably twelve times and I don't want to do it again. I need a more permanent solution.

Have you tried redirecting the water away from the skirting? The components of the skirting won't take much pressure from water without moving. Did you anchor the bottom channel to the ground? Using 6" spikes through the middle of the channel often keeps it in place.

My oldest son used to have a MH that had issues with the wind and the skirting. What we wound up doing was building a pressure treated wood frame to hold everything in place. That might help. Another option would be to add rock to keep the water from washing away the sand.

Is this Mobile Home sitting on a concrete pad that could be used as the foundation for a permanent concrete block wall 24" or 32" high all the way around except for an access portal (or two) ?
