Roof Load Mobile Home

The general rule of thumb is 20lb 24 centers 30lb 16 centers 40lb 12 centers.

Roof load mobile home.

In my experience a heavier roof snow load is always better. Having a stronger built roof will give you a stronger built home. In heavy snow areas where you might get 5 or 6 ft. The load levels created by hud code are based on how many pounds per square foot of snow the roof must resist and hud code must be met by the builder.

One last word on roof pitch is safety. Roof loads are a downward vertical force on the home. The north zone middle zone and the south zone are identified on the roof load zone map above. While modular homes are generally built to local codes and manufactured homes are built to hud code roof load requirements are unique.

In areas where you might get 2 or 3 ft. This downward imposed load on the home is also known as the snow load. The roof construction to meet a certain snow load is directly relative to the spacing on the roof trusses. It is not just how important it is to the amount of snow in your area although that is the main point of the snow load.

There are other slight changes depending on the configuration of the ridge beam. The roof is an integral factor of the strength of the entire home. Of snow you should upgrade to the 50 lb. Of snow on the roof a 90 lb.
