This tool calculates the amount of skirting required to cover the base of your mobile home.
Mobile Home Skirting Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate the amount of skirting you will need for your mobile home. Fill in the required fields with the dimensions of your mobile home, doors, and windows. The result will give you the total square feet of skirting required.
How to Use
- Enter the length of your mobile home in feet.
- Enter the width of your mobile home in feet.
- Enter the average height from the ground to the bottom of your mobile home in feet.
- Enter the total number of doors and their average dimensions in feet.
- Enter the total number of windows and their average dimensions in feet.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the result in square feet.
How it Calculates
The calculator first determines the perimeter of the mobile home (2 * (length + width)) and then multiplies it by the average height to get the total skirting area before accounting for doors and windows. It then subtracts the total area of the doors and windows from this value to give the final skirting area required.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate based on average dimensions entered. It assumes that all doors and windows are uniformly distributed and does not account for other structural variances of the home. For more precise measurements, manual calculations or professional consultations are recommended.
