Hurricane Charley, with a maximum over-land wind speed of approximately 110 mph. Wind Zone II equates to a 100-mph fastest-mile wind speed. Discussion of 1994 Changes in the Manufactured Home Wind Standards. Wind Zone I equates to a 70-mph fastest-mile wind speed. The manufactured home producer designs the home to resist the wind load, which is measured in pounds per square foot. For one thing, based on the Basic Wind Zone Map, if you live in a home designed for states such as Colorado or Idaho, you shouldn’t expect your mobile home to be able to withstand an 80 mph wind. Thirdly, wind zone III equates to a 110-mph fastest-mile wind speed.
Secondly, wind zone II equates to a 100-mph fastest-mile wind speed. Vinyl 500-900 for Single Wides and 800-1800 for Double Wides On average, you can expect to spend 500 900 to skirt an average sized single wide and 900 1800 on a double wide. Wind Zone I, Wind Zone II and Wind Zone III are identified on the basic wind zone map above. As follows: Firstly, wind zone I equates to a 70-mph fastest-mile wind speed. A lot of the cheaper mobile home skirting kits are made with recycled vinyl which is thinner and cheaper. The home must be capable of transferring these imposed lateral loads to the home’s stabilizing devices without exceeding the allowable stresses and other deflection requirements. Wind loads (a lateral load) must be resisted by the home. However, a Wind Zone I home cannot be installed in either a Wind Zone II or III area. Homes designed and constructed to a higher Wind Zone can be installed in a lower Wind Zone (a Wind Zone III home can be installed in a Wind Zone I or II location). If your mobile home was manufactured before June 15, 1976, when HUD-Code regulations went into effect, there will not be a HUD data plate in the home and HUD will not certify pre-1976 mobile homes for a wind zone, no matter how storm. The appropriate wind zone used in design is dependent on where the home will be initially installed. It is required by HUD to stamped into the metal by the manufacturer in letters a minimum of 3/8 high.
MOBILE HOME WIND RATING CODE
The HUD Code stipulates, at §3280.305(c)(1) and §3280.305(c)(2), that the home shall be designed and constructed to conform to one of three wind load zones. Wind Zone I equates to a 70-mph fastest. Each manufactured home must be designed according to the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards at, commonly called the HUD Code. The manufactured home producer designs the home to resist the wind load, which is measured in pounds per square foot.
