Vinyl skirting is easily installed over any terrain, requi s no special tools and never needs painting. Following these basic installation techniques will assure that our skirting will contribute to the I eauty of your home's exterior. need Tools you will Hammer o Screwdriver • Snips • Plumb Bob or Level • Tape Measure Top Trim Back Component Power Saw with Fine Tooth Blade • Snap Lock Tool o Chalk Line a Utility Knife Important 1) Use either a power saw with a fine tooth blade mounted with reverse rotation, or aviation snips to cut skirting components. 2) To allow for normal expansion and contraction, fasten the Top Trim Back component(s) in the center of the nailing slots. Fasten positively to the surface of the unit at every slotted 1 ole, leaving 1 /2" between lengths. Do not butt the ends. Over- lap the Top Trim Front component(s) approximately 1" at joints. Allow 1/2" between pieces of the Bottom Channel component(s) when installing. 3) Do not drive the fasteners too tightly. Nails or screws offer excellent holding power, but if driven too tightly, the vinyl can, under normal expansion and contrac- tion, become distorted. These fasteners should be driven in the middle of the nailing slot just short of touching the Top Trim Back component(s). Nail or screw to achieve 3/4" penetration into solid wood substance. Fasten to allow part to expand and con- tract during the norm change in ambient temperature. Do not fasten tight. Allow 1 /16" gap between fa�tener head and part. I I j Skirting Panel Top Trim Front Component Bottom Channel Component Step I... Laying the Bottom Channel Components �- A level or plumb line should be used to establish the location of the Bottom Chan- nel. The taller backside of the Bottom Channel should be located directly beneath i' ppK the outside bottom edge of the home, where the Top Trim Back component will be u'�— attached (see figure 1). To prevent grass from growing around the base of the skirting and provide a non -shifting base for the ground spikes, 9" asphalt roof starter should be installed around the home. The roof starter also reduces the possibility of the vinyl Figure I skirting panels being damaged from the use of a powered string trimmer. "Weed -Eat- er" type trim units will damage the skirting and is not covered by the warranty. — A - Attach the Bottom Channel component directly to the ground through the prepunehed holes (see figure 2). Spikes are required every 24 inches ... extra holes are provided in the Bottom Channel component for convenience. Another spike or a drift punch ntr Ota Nk ' ` `6 jj( h n4 Idr may be used to drive spikes in completely. To allow for expansion, leave a 1/2" gap r between each section of the Bottom Channel component. To form clean, attractive Nor "A` NN 0` °k corners, the Bottom Channel component can be notched with snips (see figure 3) and Figure 2 then bent to the desired angle. (Attached to the ground as shown in figure 4). Note: in high wind areas; where ground below the unit is spongy; or where ground is f f._'_ loose from recent excavation and has not yet settled, it is advisable to fasten bottom channel to treated wooden stakes. For installation on concrete, use 34' masonry nail I instead of ground spike. "Liquid Nail" cement or other similar methods of setting a fastener directly to concrete can also be used. Figure 3 l 1 Step 2... Mounting Top Trim Back Components \_• First determine where the Top Trim Back component(s) will mount on the lower part �' of the home. The bottom edge of the Top Trim Back component can extend below hr, 's' the bottom edge of the home if there is a solid support for nailing and a solid bearing r h?r 104 Hdr for the Top Trim Front component against the side of the home. It is helpful to mark Or Or Of a line around the bottom of the home with a chalk line or other method to assure a straight line where the Top Trim Back component is to be installed. Figure 4 The Top Trim Back component is installed by driving the fasteners in the middle of every slot (seer figure 5). Do not, fasten fightly! (see fastening instructions on front page.) Do not cut Top Trim Back components at the corners. Gently bend over a sharp edge of a cutting table or a similar surface to form a corner (see figure 6). If the installation is made in extremely cold weather, the vinyl should be warmed to room temperature before bending. Warming will avoid the likelihood of cracking. Figure 5 Step 3...

Self -aligning panels easily snap and slide into place (see figure 10). Be certain that each skirting panel pol,itively interlocks with the skirting panel adjoining it. Note: (above 36" panel height, a framing support system should be considered.) Wing the Skirting Panels ;1 can be installed by setting into the Bottom Channel and leaning against the top back.

Cut the panel from side — not from the top or bottom. Keep snip points open as if cutting cloth to id cracking panels. CAUTION Proper installation of r ianufactured home skirting requires that the Top Back corn onent be fastened loosely so the panel will slide freely in the nail slots. This can be accomplished by leaving the fastener 1/116' to 1/8" from the face of the panel. The fastener must peneitrate a solid surface by 3/4". Do not place outdoor cookers near the vinyl skirting because the heat will distort the panels. Any heat source must be kept away fre m the panels or damage may occur.
