Abstract: A foundation system for bracing a manufactured home on its foundation is disclosed comprising a plurality of vertically stacked blocks stacked on footings, and a plurality of elongated braces connected to the mobile home and a foundation footing. A plurality of elongated braces comprising unitary brace tubes, flexible joints, and footing anchor tabs at first ends of the brace tubes, and adapted to connect to an I-beam of the home at a second remote end of the brace tube. Each footing anchors including a major leg and a minor leg, the major and minor legs being flattened to form an anchor tab intersecting the longitudinal axis of the brace tube at an acute angle of inclination. The flexible joint provides a degree of rotation of the brace tube relative to the anchor tab so that the angle of inclination may be changed.

Abstract: A perimeter wall support system is disclosed for supporting a perimeter wall section of a manufactured home. The perimeter support system comprises an auxiliary support pier assembly disposed adjacent a perimeter wall having an auxiliary pier support pad with a support pier supported thereon, and at least one elongated strut extending between the auxiliary support pad and the perimeter wall section. At least one anchor coupling affixes a lower end of the strut to the auxiliary support pad. A connector member is carried by an upper end of the strut for securing the strut to the wall section. A longitudinally adjustable mechanism is operable for adjusting the effective length of the strut between the floor structure and the auxiliary support pad in finite increments.
