Cavco Built in Porch and Rodents
I am in the process of purchasing a Cavco home with inset, factory-built porches. The home uses 19/32" tongue-and-groove OSB floor decking and will be installed on a concrete slab foundation with a Cornerstone skirting system.
I've been trying to find more information online about how the underside of Cavco's built-in porches is constructed, but I haven't had much luck. My main concern is understanding how the area beneath the porches is built so we can minimize the risk of rodents. We'd like to prepare for any potential issues during installation and know what to expect for long-term maintenance.
I've been told that the porches have their own separate belly wrap beneath them and that the Cornerstone skirting will only run along the front of the home where the porch begins. However, I'm having a hard time visualizing how the underneath of our home will still be protected and what that actually looks like.
Does anyone have photos of the underside of a Cavco factory-built porch or experience with one? I'd really appreciate seeing how they're constructed and learning whether having an inset porch changes anything underneath the home compared to a standard manufactured home.
