ABSTRACT:
Stabilizer bars (28) and (30) extend across the lengths of the I-beam joists (12) and (14), beneath the piers (16) and (18). Tie down anchors (32) and (34) are placed in abutment with the outer ends of the stabilizer bars, so that the anchors cannot be pulled and bent toward the manufactured home due to the forces in the anchor ties (101) and (110). Tie down shoes (50) and (51) are mounted at the lower portions of the piers (16) and (18), and ties (101, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110) are connected to the tie down shoes so as to increase the resistance of the manufactured home (11) from shifting laterally and from lifting off the foundation.
