ABSTRACT:
A manufactured home stabilizing foundation system includes a plurality of soil anchors (18) arranged on the outside of the foundation connected by ties (20) to I-beams (16) on the underside of the manufactured home (12). A plurality of cleated plates (22a, 22b) are arranged under the piers upon which the home is supported and the cleated plates are connected to the anchors (18) by outer stabilizer bars (24). The cleated plates are further connected to each other by an intermediate stabilizer bar (90). The resulting system is a plurality of stabilizer systems crosswise of the home, each including a pair of opposed anchors, a pair of outer stabilizer bars, a pair of piers, cleated plates, and an intermediate stabilizer bar. With the system, forces on one side of the home can be transferred through the system to the anchor on the other side of the home. A bracket (140) connects the outer stabilizer bar to the anchor.
