Mobile Home Anchoring System

Abstract

The invention provides a system and method of installing or anchoring, to a fixed ground location, a conventional structure such as a mobile home or other residential structure or similar structure. Two rigid longitudinal beams are positioned under the structure to support the structure's weight. The beams are supported by multiple piles that are secured into the ground below. Multiple spaced stabilizers extend from the beams to support the perimeter edges of the mobile home. The piles each are of a specific design including helical elements extending from a central shaft. The piles are preferably secured in the ground with a non-vertical, angled, attitude.

1 . A method of supporting a mobile home structure comprising:
 supporting a mobile home on two parallel horizontal rigid beams;   securing each of multiple rigid stabilizers to a beam and to a perimeter edge of the mobile home to provide a vertical load path therebetween;   securing multiple helical piles into the ground;   locating the mobile home above the multiple helical piles;   securing each of the helical piles to one associated beam, such that the piles together vertically support the mobile home.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , and further comprising:
 adjusting the length of at least one of the piles to reach the respective beam.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , and further comprising:
 adjusting the angle of a portion of the pile to before securing the pile to the beam.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , and further comprising:
 horizontally supporting each beam to balance the loads transmitted thereto by the stabilizers.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , and wherein:
 a portion of the multiple piles are secured with a non-vertical angle.
