Double Wide Modular Home Foundation Cross Section
Two
single modular
home foundations can be
joined together with lag bolts through the top and bottom header joists
and pony walls to form
a double wide modular home foundation. Multiple unit modular homes are currently supported
by concrete or wood foundations and single unit modular (manufactured
or mobile homes) are supported by foundations, pilings or cribbing.
Four single modular homes can
form a large
house or four apartments in one building. The
double wide and two story modular homes shown here
conform to the building code and highways transportation regulations.
They use double wall construction to provide approximately one and one
half feet of wall insulation depth. Their exterior walls are in the
shape of multiples of the Golden Rectangle, Golden Ratio or Golden
Section (GS). The cross section view of two modular
home foundations joined together is shown
below. |
