Skirting a manufactured home costs $900 to $3,000 to cover the space from the bottom of the trailer to the ground. The skirting protects the home from pets and moisture and creates a space to store outdoor tools, sporting equipment, and furniture.
Vinyl skirting is the most popular material due to its low cost, durability, and ease of installation. Vinyl also resists moisture and pests but can become brittle from sun exposure and be damaged by lawn equipment.
Metal skirting is another durable option, resistant to moisture, rust, and pests. Metal is more expensive than vinyl and can be dented if not handled with care.
Concrete skirting is the most expensive and durable option but is less resistant to pests and is difficult to install.
Wood skirting is a more traditional option that can be customized to match the home's exterior. It is more susceptible to moisture damage and pests than metal or vinyl.
