Hello,i personally installed skirting many time not sure exactly what you need to know about it,but i did a job for a neighbor i our trailer park and did all the siding,soffit,facia,skirting at our churches youth group bldg.what is best wehn doing this to make it look nice if skirting or mobile home looks like it slopes is build up a mound of dirt at low spots to have it builtup all the way around to make it look all even heights,instead of using small pins they use with the bottom piece where the siding goes on the ground i took both jobs got treated 4 by 4 wood took heavy 12 in spikes drilled holes in lumber used the spikes and drove them into the ground and then SCREW bottom track onto top of treated lumber this keep the wind from pushing the skirting at a backwards angle like tey always do with the TINI 3 in.spikes they give with the bottom track this will keep not only your skirting straight beut keep it from pushing inward at an angle and have alot more strength esp.if your skirting is High pieces the higher the skirting the quicker it will blow in esp.during high winds.also the trated lumber helps raise up your skirting esp.if the pieces are tall you can then trim some off and it wont flex as much during a wind storm.Also if you evn up around your homw1st with dirt and try to get it more even esp.if the home looks to slope it looks like the home is more even with the skirting around all the same heights then put lumber over top of packed soil use big 12 in..spikes drive them thru drilled holes into the ground and your skirting wot move hardly and wont blow away like it might with the TINY 3 in.spikes they normally put in the bottom track into ground when they set up a home.Jim
