Attaching and maintaining the underpinning around your manufactured home has several important benefits:
We do not recommend storing items underneath your manufactured home for several reasons, like possible moisture exposure to your belongings, potential pipe damage, damage from insects and pests, inconvenient access and being a fire hazard.
All of the skirting options we list out below, even real brick and concrete block skirting systems, can be used with manufactured home foundations, including pier and beam foundations.
Your skirting does not determine the type of foundation your home needs to have, because the HUD code all manufactured homes are built to requires the entire perimeter of your home to be enclosed by a suitable skirting material, regardless of the foundation type.
When it comes to underpinning for your manufactured home, you have a variety of skirting material and style options, including:
When you’re at your local home center browsing home models or finalizing your home purchase, a home center consultant will show you different skirting options they have available. They’re happy to help you find the perfect skirting to complement your personal style and complete your home’s exterior.
You’ll also want to check with your local building officials to find out which types of skirting materials are allowed in your area. Depending on where your home will be located, your local or state officials could require a specific type.
Vinyl is the most popular material for single-section and multi-section homes and is:
A common style of vinyl underpinning for manufactured homes is made of panels with vertical lines. These can come in an array of colors to complement your home’s exterior. Vinyl skirting can also be made to look like stone, brick and other textures in a wide range of colors and tones.
Concrete skirting panels, often called stucco skirting, are a sturdy option that resist rot and pest invasion.
Some concrete skirting panel brands include hidden ventilation panels so you have a seamless look but still get the proper ventilation you need to reduce gas and moisture buildup under your manufactured home. Concrete skirting is heavy and considered more difficult to install than other types of skirting but can be a smart option because of its durability.

There are vinyl and resin skirting systems that can be made to look like brick or blocks, but you can also skirt your home with actual bricks or cinder blocks to enhance the style of your exterior and make it look more like your manufactured home has a permanent foundation.
Using bricks or blocks to skirt your home will cost much more than vinyl, but the weight and durability of brick skirting means you likely won’t need to replace it for many years.
Faux brick and stone skirting materials are made from sturdy plastic and look very realistic. They are slightly more rigid than vinyl panels, help insulate the area under your home and hold up well in inclement weather.
This type of underpinning is fairly easy to install and comes in a variety of patterns. Because of the manufacturing process, it’s slightly more expensive than vinyl options.
Some people may prefer to use exterior siding material, such as lap vinyl skirting or fiber cement siding, to skirt their manufactured homes. If you choose to use fiber cement siding as skirting, it can match or complement your siding.
Lattice skirting for manufactured homes can be made of either vinyl or wood. With any type of lattice skirting, ventilation is usually not an issue because the spaces in the lattice pattern naturally allow for air flow.
Wood lattice skirting is fairly inexpensive and easy to work with but can be susceptible to rot and mildew if it is not treated. Wood lattice does not take wear and tear as well as other materials.
Vinyl lattice skirting is available in many colors and can have unique lattice patterns like stars and flowers, so it makes for an affordable, customizable option.
Some skirting vendors offer manufactured home underpinning kits. While these kits allow you to put skirting on your home yourself, they can require a lot of work and expertise.
If you choose to use an underpinning kit, you’ll need to check local requirements regarding any permits and inspections. Improper skirting installation could void your home warranty, or if skirting is installed without proper permits, it could void an insurance claim. You’ll also want to choose a skirting type and material that is suited for your region’s climate.
Additionally, you’ll have to make sure that your home has proper ventilation underneath, that you have the right amount of skirting panels for your home and that you accommodate for possible height variations around the perimeter of your home. In this case, vinyl skirting is usually the easiest to install because it is lightweight and affordable.
We recommend carefully considering the type of skirting you want before purchasing your home and letting the professional construction team setting up your home on your home site install the underpinning you choose.
