Some modular homes are raised on “sticks” (also known as stilts or piers) to elevate them above the ground. This method is often used in flood-prone areas, coastal regions, or areas with uneven terrain. Raising a home on sticks helps prevent water damage during floods, improves air circulation, and can even provide additional storage space underneath. It’s also a cost-effective and quicker alternative to a full concrete foundation, making it a practical option for certain locations while still offering durability and stability.
