Folks ... do NOT install a horizontal "band board/trim" even if caulked it will eventually leak and catch debris, this will rot out your sheathing. Use "Z" flashing instead. Paint the bottom end/edge of the sheathing. Do not caulk it, that way it can drain. Gravity never fails, caulk will. Z flashing not caulk. I understand the horizontal trim can look nice, but it's no fun letting your sheathing rot.
Just curious how you deal with moisture ingress from the grass and rain onto those 2x6's? I'd worry that being directly on the ground, it'd attract all kinds of creepy crawlies once the wood is waterlogged (e.g. carpenter ants, termites, etc.) Or is that expected and there's only a short service life?
You make it seem so easy, im useing 2in xps and plywood or trying too anyway the wheel well sticks out about a ¼in some delicate sanding if i can figure out the wheel measurement or use chalk.
That's if my lazy arse can crawl outta bed I work such crazy hrs I think about abandoning this janky rv even though I've always thought tiny homes were legit but not so much I gotta get 100amps in here I'm on 30 rn and a propane water heater is sketch
I’m not seeing what you’re doing at the top there. Can you explain how you are attaching the top of the skirting to the bottom of the siding? Unfortunately there is not any information on doing this type of job.
yes, I am sure that is what he uses. We have a vapor barrier under our mobile homes and extend it ourward so the pressure treated wood lays on top of this instead of the ground itself. Extra protection.
I did something similar. I used 6 inch galvanized spikes into the 2x4 into the ground then the spikes through a 4x4 into the 2x4 all ground tested. Caulked the steam around the top, 2 coats of primer and 2coats of exterior paint.
And it has the added advantage of making it look like you belong in the worst trailer park ever! So while roofing metal as Skirting might ward off rot and termites, it does draw in meth heads
The big box stores, Home Depot Lowes Menards. That’s called T one eleven siding. I did something similar but used 7/16 osb primed and exterior painted it.
I just purchase a trailer home & the manager told me she was going to fix my skirting but she havent fix nothing its been 2 months and she keep putting excuses, what can i do ? ? ?
wood on ground will get soft or change shape groundless if pressure treated. need four inches of air gap or use a product that is hard but will not change its form.
Can't breathe and will hole moisture. Plus wood needs be pressure treated, I perfer metal rails over wood. Because of bugs. You need ever 3' feet studs on center to meet state code. You need have lower vents ever 4' to help flow of air.
That OSB will not last on the ground like that, use steel and dig a trench for it to run into the ground, then back fill, I do Vinyl siding, but weed eaters tear up the vinyl.
Even if the bottom plate were pressure trt'd wood, a building inspector would insist on some sort of concrete stem wall or pad. This is exactly the wrong way to do it. That bottom plate will disolve in a couple years. This guy is your best installer?
@rgawt1870 hahaha really the guy was waiting to see something he could pretent to know some shit about if it wasn't this he would of found something else....
Brick is the best underpinning, albeit more expensive. You will never have to touch it again and rodents cannot get through to chew up your undercarriage.
I see no need for vent when plastic is on ground, floor has barrier underneath, and or when building is 2ft above ground, but in cold weather I do see the need for air tight.......... But I also see the need for slowing down the video in certain places so I dont have rewind 15 times.......... I do like the idea of pinning 2x4s down, I'll do the same..........
I love how most of all video for under pinning the land is flat and pretty never the normal like angled or higher then your head off the ground. lol so with those types, how to put a frame under it how to cut at angles from the ground and bottom of the trailer and all that. I mean their is no videos on TH-cam that shows all that or at lest explain it good enough to follow them while you DIY.
Great 👍 question ⁉️ but I guess nobody has answered you huh. I'm planning on doing the skirting myself but I have so many questions and here on TH-cam nobody has answered me yet
Doesn't skirting have to have perforated holes in the material to assist with ventilation

Nice job . Liked how you made the siding of the house run with the lines of the skirting.

Ahhh what a lovely flat surface to be working on lmfaoooo
yea one side of my house gets as low as a foot and the other is nearly 3ft tall. pain in the fucking ass
Looks really good to use the same material as the siding. And from what I can tell, the verticle seams/pattern lines up! Great looking!
Can you explain the process please
Love the work
The worst is the lack of venting. Not mentioning the ground contact wood.
In this video they are using hardie board siding. Termites cannot eat the cement that these boards are pressed with.
I also would of like to add some ventilation as well
That was definitely not hardie board...thats the lp smartside panel made of osb

Where we live this will rot and fall apart in no time.. didn't even use pressure treated along the bottom much less ground contact rated

I was about to ask the same question ⁉️😂 Hope they or someone else answers us
Looks like he’s tucking the skirting behind a trim piece that runs lengthwise then every 4’ he puts a 2x4 behind the skirting for a nailing edge
@@eugenewilson7555 basically that. You can also attach 2x4's under the 2x6 wood frame
That's the inspiration I was looking for.
Wood ground contact?!
yes, I am sure that is what he uses. We have a vapor barrier under our mobile homes and extend it ourward so the pressure treated wood lays on top of this instead of the ground itself. Extra protection.
How much did this cost?
What kind of wood do you use?? What kind of siding.
how about when the mobile home settles?? there will not be any flex in that skirting...something gonna give...

@@jesus198455 busca en Amazon
You made that look so easy and slick
Jason is by far the best installer around!
Do it slowly so would follow the instructions nice job!!!!
you can put it slowly on your cell phone that's how I did it
What kind of stakes did you use to ground the 2x4 you used for a rot board
I did something similar. I used 6 inch galvanized spikes into the 2x4 into the ground then the spikes through a 4x4 into the 2x4 all ground tested. Caulked the steam around the top, 2 coats of primer and 2coats of exterior paint.
Solid work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Saludos quiero hacer lo mismo en mi casa movible me podría decir cómo se llama el material que uso para las faldas y donde lo puede conseguir grasias
Se llama smart siding y lo encuentra en home depot
Why not landscape timbers? Anyone ever did that?
You have earned the honor of me stealing at least three ideas off this. Well done.
thank i do the same i sick of the plastic crap blowing out all the time
Just add screws in the upper plate and the plastic skirting stays in place
What are you skirting it with? That's not the regular vinyl is it? I can't really see it.
Siding
Roofing metal won’t rot or draw termites
And it has the added advantage of making it look like you belong in the worst trailer park ever! So while roofing metal as Skirting might ward off rot and termites, it does draw in meth heads
@@Nowuries01 lol
Where did you get the wood from
How can I order the same material? Could you tell me how and where I get it, thank you
The big box stores, Home Depot Lowes Menards. That’s called T one eleven siding. I did something similar but used 7/16 osb primed and exterior painted it.
Good job, but it would have been nice if you explain the process
How long did it actually took you to do it?
1 minute 49 seconds
Great job! Any chance that we could view this in real time?
You doing a good and great job 👏
I just purchase a trailer home & the manager told me she was going to fix my skirting but she havent fix nothing its been 2 months and she keep putting excuses, what can i do ? ? ?
depending on what type of skirting, I am assuming the a typical vinyl skirting on tracks, there are videos on how to fix it. It's simple.
i didnt see a top plate. how were the panels atatched to the top?
It’s behind the 1x6 top trim where the walls are attached to the metal frame
How much was material and all
We do not want termites or critters destroying our homes. Thanks, great job!
Excellent 😎👍
Where is your access door and your vents? Looks good, though.
What are the venta for?
@@triple7441 Ventilation
@@dkf1219 yeah we know they are for ventilation but why? Why does a house needs ventilation underneath?
@@rgawt1870 moisture/humidity
Might of missed it but I didn't see you put in any vents? I guess you could always add them in later
Why are vents needed?
@@rgawt1870 they're not needed when you have a vapor barrier over the ground like they do in this video.
@@prescottsims245 maybe not many vents, but some vents just to help with airflow, circulation?
What type underpinning is that?
looks like hardy backer board siding. It is supposed to be made with cement. If cement, termites etc cannot eat through this
Why not use veneer stone? Much better
Much more expensive but yes its nice
wood on ground will get soft or change shape groundless if pressure treated.
need four inches of air gap or use a product that is hard but will not change its form.
explain this. TY
Can't breathe and will hole moisture.
Plus wood needs be pressure treated, I perfer metal rails over wood. Because of bugs.
You need ever 3' feet studs on center to meet state code.
You need have lower vents ever 4' to help flow of air.
State codes?
for underpinning? Is that not for the house itself?
That OSB will not last on the ground like that, use steel and dig a trench for it to run into the ground, then back fill, I do Vinyl siding, but weed eaters tear up the vinyl.
Wow Great 😂 job
looks great. in lest than five years the entire exterior will need replacing. It does look great!
why do you say this? If he were to use cement hardy backer board, would it last longer? And if so, how many years?
Some people just love to troll
How did you connect the top of the board to the trailer? I can see the bottom and the vertical 2x4.
I had a worker install 2x4's under the 2x6 frame board to attach the cement hardy backer board. Replaced the metal band back on.
In my humble opinion, time lapse construction videos are useless! Just saying.....
Amish craftsman hard at work.
Nice job
Looks like you've done that a few times.
Do you know where America is mentioned in the Bible ??????? Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!!

Wood really...
Nice
Using wood just gave termites access to your home unless it's not wood then good job
I understand if he treats his homes for these types of bugs, like any stick and mortar home, he should be fine.
Glad I have volume control-shut off the crappie noise....
So...... not..... Removable for storage and maintenance.
How about stainless steel screws. Lazy american with a nail gun
Termite heaven
It is a hardy backer cement board. Termites do not eat through cement.
who can I call to do mine? I like the way these people did it. can I get their number to come do mine?
Nice
