A manufactured home is normally placed on a prepared site that has been stabilized and im- proved to provide adequate support for the manufactured home and anchoring system, The type of site and area improvements vary widely across. the country and include simple ground stabilization, application of gravel, concrete run- Ground anchors, which are located under the ner or slab, concrete block piers, or more elaborate manufactured home, are secured to the manufac- foundation construction.

A typical manufactured home installation, as shown in Figure 1,12, involves supporting the manufactured home by piers (concrete masonry blocks resting on a small concrete footing) placed typically every eight to ten feet of length beneath the two chassis I-beams, 0---. :.
