Mobile home skirting is a crucial part of your mobile home. This protective barrier shields your plumbing and foundation from outside weather conditions and wild animals. Skirting comes in many different materials and can offer ventilation, insulation, and curb appeal to your home. However, while it works to protect your home, your skirting is prone to occasional wear and tear. If you look for the signs that you need to replace your mobile home skirting, you can ensure your home stays up to date and in good condition.
Rust and Fading
Metal is a popular choice for mobile home skirting thanks to its durability and cost-effectiveness. However, one of the downsides of metal is that you may occasionally find yourself dealing with rust. If you catch it early, you can make general repairs to your skirting with rust remover. But over time, you may need to replace the skirting if it becomes a more significant issue. We provide vinyl skirting options to ensure long lasting skirting that will not rust.

Cracks and Holes
One of the most telling signs that you need to replace your mobile home skirting is if you see visible damage along it. Cracks, dents, holes, and other notable impairments may require replacement sheets in your skirting. Excess humidity can enter through cracks, which may lead to mold and worse conditions for your home’s underside.
Worn Down
Even if you manage to fend off rust and cracks, sometimes, skirting begins to wear down with age, especially if you have wooden skirting. If you start to notice discoloration from sun damage or if the skirt appears aged, it may be a good idea to search for replacement options.
When it comes time to replace your skirting, you can choose to replace only the damaged pieces or elect to replace the entire kit. If you’re looking for mobile home skirting replacements, Mobile Home Outfitters has the parts you need. We also have a helpful skirting calculator to find the kit that works for you and your home.
