Do mobile put on foundations withstand very high wind better than one that have metal panels?
In general mobile homes with foundations that are built to withstand high winds will be more resilient than those with metal panels. Mobile homes with foundations typically have a reinforced frame and a sturdier roof making them better able to handle winds. Additionally the foundation of a mobile home is anchored to the ground which helps keep the structure stable and in place during strong winds. In comparison metal panels may be less effective in protecting a mobile home against high winds. Metal panels can be easily damaged and blown away by strong winds. Additionally metal panels are not anchored to the ground so they may not provide enough support to keep the mobile home in place during a windstorm.
