Abstract: The foundation and support system for a manufactured structure comprises a plurality of vertically adjustable supports fixedly mounted on footings in an excavated area under the structure. The adjustable supports are fixedly attached to main support stringers to support the weight and anchor the structure in the ground. A plurality of thin elongated foundation wall panels are cambered outwardly with respect to the periphery of the home to serve as a flexible retaining wall for backfill with the ability to flex along the longitudinal access to accommodate small movements in the home and strong winds without breaking or pulling out the fasteners and adds stability in the nature of tie downs which resist lifting. Three variations of the panels provide lap joints for running lengths and corners which may be sealed with flexible adhesive to resist entry of water in the space under the structure.

Abstract: A foundation system is provided for permanently installing manufactured homes on footings set into the ground. Vertical support members are mounted on the footings at ground level. Attached to the top of each vertical support member is a vertically adjustable load bearing plate which provides support for the frame of the house. The bearing plate includes means for engaging a longitudinal frame member on the underside of the house to anchor the house securely to the footing. In addition, the foundation system includes overlapping corrosion resistant fiberglass panels attachable to the base perimeter of the house. The panels are constructed with vertical ribs to provide strength for defining a retaining wall against backfilling around the outside perimeter of the house.
