We have a new double-wide ground set manufactured home. At present we
have "temporary" wooden steps to the front and side doors, but I would
like to install concrete steps. The total rise from ground is 14-16
inches, so I'm guessing, as with the wooden steps, it would be 2 steps
at each door, resting on firmly packed earth.

These would essentially be "free standing" steps and, as we are in
Phoenix, I don't think we need to worry about climate changes heaving
the ground.

Any plans/instructions availble for DIY? Pros and cons?

TIA

Mobile home dealers sell pre cast steps of various sizes. Check the
phone book. They are nicely finished...

They won't move on that desert ground :-)


Thanks, Oren. That's more what I'm after. I'll take a look in the area.
