Reil Rock Skirting - question about install
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2018 9:10 am
Good morning,
I am installing new Reil Rock skirting. I did not buy a kit, I got this from a contractor that had it left over from a job. I have the instructions for install, however I dont see any info on installing vents or an access door. Nor anything about what kind of heat gun to bend it- just says industrial. Any advice/tips/tricks/what to look out for would be appreciated.
We live in Texas- high humidity and some freezes during the winter.
I will be using the current vinyl skirting rails for support and cut Reil for seamless appearance, connecting them with the recommended 1"hex.
There is no framing and I would like to avoid any extra costs. This is not a forever home, but we would like it to look nice. Als, this is our first mobile/manufactured home, (1997 Fleetwood Greenhill model with front and back deck), so I am sure I am not asking all the right questions-please feel free to advise.
I was told to install automatic vents every 8 feet. That would mean 20 vents. Is this really necessary?
Does anyone have experience installing, and what would you recommend?
I see the Reil Rock access door comes at 36" H, but our space is approx 30" H. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Amy
