Some modular homes are built on “sticks” (or “stilts”) to elevate the home above the ground. This is typically done in areas prone to flooding, uneven terrain, or where zoning laws require homes to be raised for safety or aesthetic reasons. The “stick” foundation provides added protection from water damage, improves air circulation, and offers a unique architectural style. This type of foundation can be more affordable and quicker to install compared to traditional concrete foundations, making it a practical solution for certain locations.
