Some of the plastic (fiberglass?) skirting pieces around my mobile

cord, though I doubt it. Probably just decades of weather.

Anyhow, any ideas of something easy to put over the holes, not too
obvious? Save me a ton of money and work.

I think one can buy single pieces. The pieces are about ten feet
long if I remember correctly. You could probably buy a single piece
and cut it in two at the store to get it home. Tin snips will cut it.
It comes in many colors so you should be able to find something close.


I agree with Dean. A friend had a mobile home several years ago and
he had the same problem with rocks from weed eating and mowing knocking
holes in the skirting. Only thing to be done is replace the damaged
areas.


Not to pick a nit, but Ken is saying "skirting" which in not the same
as "siding" in Dean's link. Skirting can be vertical or horizontal
slats ~ 4 inches wide with a minor space between.
