Abstract:
1. A method for skirting a manufactured home or similar building, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of substantially flat concrete panels having a height approximately equal to a predetermined height between a rim joist of said building and an underlying ground surface, each of said concrete panels having edge slots formed in first and second ends thereof; providing a plurality of key members, each of said key members having a mounting position at an upper end and an elongate panel-engaging portion with first and second edge flanges for being received in said edge slots of said panel members; mounting said upper ends of said key members to said rim joists so that said elongate panel-engaging portions of said key members extend downwardly from said rim joints; and placing said ends of said panel members against said downwardly extending panel-engaging portions of said key members that are mounted to said rim joints, so that said edge flanges of said panel-engaging portions are received in interfitting engagement with said edge slots of said panel members and so that said key members thereby secure said panel members to said building in vertical, edge-to-edge relationship.
