A structural system employing fired clay masonry to create a continuous, enclosed foundation around the perimeter of a manufactured residence. This construction serves as both a visual enhancement and a functional element, concealing the undercarriage while providing support. For example, a single-wide unit might have this installed to create a more permanent aesthetic.
The application of this material offers several advantages, including improved aesthetics, enhanced protection from the elements, and increased structural stability. Historically, this type of support evolved as a way to integrate manufactured housing more seamlessly into established neighborhoods, offering a perceived increase in property value and long-term durability compared to other methods. It addresses concerns about wind resistance and animal intrusion, contributing to the overall longevity of the dwelling.
