What materials can you use for DIY manufactured home foundation panels skirting?

∙ 15y ago
I bought a 1980 manufactured home last year which sits in the middle of a Kansas farm. The original vinyl skirting had been busted through by animals and blown off in several places due to constant exposure to Kansas winds and the home had a past history of considerable vermin damage due to the missing and damaged skirting. My solution was to use concrete fiberboard panels purchased at a local hardware store. I used caulk in between the panels to seal the seams. Now that winter is over, I am installing multiple foundation vents so that the underneath is properly ventilated (very important in a manufactured home). So far I have survived one winter with no frozen pipes, sustained very reasonable heating costs and no sign of vermin of any kind. The panels look great plus they have survived the cold temps and wind with no movement!!! The total cost of material was less than $500 for a 16X80 home which is far less than any other foundation panel option I researched. The panels were trenched in the ground for added stability so labor is a bit more intensive than vinyl but so far after two spring storms I am very impressed! It took me and another person two weekends to install the panels and we also built a custom hitch box cover. email me at DBBoden@Yahoo.com for more information, questions or pics of the finished project.
