Receiving Your DURASKIRT™ Packages / Crates Now What? Manufactured Home Skirting Kits

Transport Times

So you ordered your DURASKIRT™ manufactured home skirting kits to place on your manufactured home, mobile home, tiny home, or post & pier house.  Now, you can expect approximately two to five days for your skirting packages to process into shipping.  Additionally, the crates look like the photo above when they’re ready to leave our factory.  Once the skirting kit leaves our factory on an LTL truck, expect varying times for transportation up to seven days or in rare instances up to two weeks.  In reality, we are speaking about the lower 48 United States shipping lanes.

Shipping Costs Are Flat Rate for Manufactured Home Skirting Kits

Surprisingly, most areas of the United States have very competitive shipping lanes and therefore, these results are low pallet shipping costs.  We manufacture DURASKIRT™ skirting packages in a way that minimizes the freight charges. Moreover, so our customers gain affordable concrete skirting.  Most recently, one of our customers met the delivery truck and received his mobile home skirting packages.

Preparation & Receiving

We ask that you be prepared for the LTL truck. Moreover, the trucks have a liftgate and use pallet jacks. For this reason, you will need a firm flat surface so they can pull the pallets off the liftgate and onto your flat, firm surface. Alternatively, you can provide plywood for the protection of driveways, recommended, or over gravel and or firm grassy areas.

Note: The crate should be set to level.

Safely Unpacking Your Crates

A level crate is vital for your safety. If, for instance, the crate must be set slightly out of level, then make sure the crate front labeled “OPEN HERE” (see photo) is facing uphill. Next, you can cut the straps with nippers or sheet metal cutters. Following this, look for the screws, TORX 20 or TORX 25, that secure the crate’s top and begin backing them out. Next, pull off the lid and place it aside.

Now, begin looking for the screws securing the front of the crate and back them out to pull the front panel marked “OPEN HERE” (see photo). Then you will see the lumber, and cross-beams, that secure the panels from movement during shipping. When you’re ready to start your installation, you can back the side screws securing the beams on each side to get to your panels. You will notice that the panels are tilted backward for your safety, using gravity to hold them from tumbling outward. This is why it was important to make sure the crates were set level or slightly backward.

Important: Use safe lifting methods and unobscure pathways to begin moving the panels around your home.

Finally!

Can you picture yourself ready for a DIY skirting celebration?  Talk to your family and friends and ask them if they will participate in a day of skirting with you.  I am certain they will help after you inform them it will be the last time you will need their help as far as skirting for your home.
