mobile 5 ft off ground

12 years ago

I just had my mobile set and 1 end is 3 ft off the ground and the other is 5 ft. Its on a hill. anyone else have this , can I put landscaping timbers on the high end and have the skirting meet that, or more dirt, Anyone have any pics of their mobile and skirting that are similar to my situation?

I give up. I have to ask the obvious questions. Why didn't you level the ground off before placing the home? And why is the end closer to the ground 3 feet up instead of the usual 2?

Yes, you can use landscaping timbers. Be sure to secure them to each other well and interior bracing would be a good idea, too. Or you can buy skirting more than 2 feet tall.
