The floor of my screen porch is about a foot off the ground. To close off
the opening between that and the ground (base of the foundation) there a
rather brittle thin surround of a white corrugated material. I need to
replace some pieces. What is the proper name for this and where can I find
some?

Thank you.

I suspect you are seeing what is known as a "skirt." Likely the sort
of stuff you use on house trailers to fill in the gap. Comes as kits,
IIRC. Strip to anchor it at the top, then you dig it into the ground
and anchor with some aluminum pins. The sections interlock.

Yes, it's very similar to what I've seen around mobile homes/trailers.
Searching on mobile home skirting turns up some info. It looks like a
rather obscure item that isn't likely to be found in local stores, but there
are some online sources.

If you have a mobile home / RV supply center locally they may help.
Not sure where you are located.
