It makes no sense, other than it is cheap to do short-term, but many manufactured homes have a wood skirting around them and that wood skirting is buried in the ground. When wood is in contact with earth, over time, it will eventually decay. That applies to plywood, OSB and you name it. Even pressure treated lumber, in this application, is often found to be rotting behind the skirting. The probe, in the decayed wood, says it all. A skirting at a manufactured home should be made of either a cement-based product or metal. Thanks for stopping by, Steven L. Smith
