Patent ID: 8092728

Claim:
A method of making a skid base for supporting a resin building thereon in which the skid base has a deck and at least two runners that are essentially parallel and spaced apart and extend beneath the deck essentially the length of the skid base, the method comprising: providing a mold; injecting structural foam material into the mold so as to define a single-wall structure, having an outer side and an underside joined by a continuous thickness of the structural foam material, which forms the deck and runners integrally together such that the outer side of the wall structure forms an outer surface of the deck and runners and the underside of the wall structure forms a bottom surface of the deck and runners, the bottom surface forming an open bottom at the deck and runners which opens to a bottom side of the base, the bottom surface at the runners being disposed closer to the bottom side of the base than the bottom surface at the deck; and forming a grate floor area in the deck with openings between ribs integrally molded within the deck.
