    Abstract: A ground support pad is described which is typically composed of a polyolefin-homopolymer and consists of two separate and identical halves which may be snapped together to form an integral unit. The pads may be used to support any heavy structure upon the ground, but is most useful in supporting structures such as mobile homes. An injection mold process is utilized in manufacturing the pad. The pad, while presenting an apparently solid appearance, is comprised internally of a cross support type design. The pad provides a lightweight, durable, reusable support for mobile home piers. The pad may be sold with a mobile home, used to support the mobile home at its first location, and subsequently transported with the mobile home and reused to support the mobile home at subsequent locations.
