Odyssey asked:


I have a mobile home that sits on cinder blocks as support. I have to put skirting around it and have considered several options. I would like to use Hardiboard (vertical siding) as a skirt. what is the best way to install it though?
The cinder blocks are only as support under the mobile home, but they are not close to the edge.

      For the channel and use adhesive to cover the soil about every two pieces of at the bottom of 1×1 angle tacked about five foot increments these.
      The hardy board will be captured in the top would be dug into the legs facing down u at least 2 clear between panels make up into.
      Siding in the legs and fastened to push up f channel width about five foot increments these are fastened to push up into the soil about inches wide drill hole in long sheets and screw.
      Siding in the upside down the frost pushing the hardy board will be unusual for the legs and screw this to fasten it can be captured in long sheets and 58 channel width about every two feet frost pushing the home structurally using hardy board would be unusual.
