SECTION 765:37-7-5. Perimeter skirting for previously occupied manufactured homes

(a)   Skirting. Skirting, if used shall be of durable materials suitable for exterior exposures. Any lumber used in connection with skirting within 6 inches of the ground shall be pressure treated to prevent decay and termite infestations.

(b)   Ventilation. Ventilation shall be provided for the crawlspace at a minimum of one square foot of free area for every 150 square feet of the home's floor area. Ventilation may be obtained by:

(1)   Ventilation openings shall be placed at or near each corner of the home and shall be located so as to provide cross-ventilation on at least two opposite sides of solid foundations;

(2)   Self-ventilating skirting may be used to satisfy cross ventilation in all other areas.

(c)   Moisture/Vapor retarder. When a polyethylene moisture-retarder sheet is placed on the ground underneath the home the polyethylene shall be of a thickness of at least six (6) mil. It is the responsibility of the purchaser or homeowner to see that it is installed.

(d)   Vents and drains. Dryer vents and air conditioning condensation drains must pass through the skirting to the outside, rather than terminating underneath the home.
