Piers per side
Total piers (both sides)

How it works

Piers per side are home length divided by pier spacing, rounded down, plus one pier at the end. Total piers double that for both sides. This is a count from your spacing only — it does not size the piers or footings.

Frequently asked questions

What spacing should I use?

That depends on soil bearing, the trailer frame, and the home's structure. Do not guess it from this page — get it from an engineer for your site.

Does this include a centre row of piers?

No. This counts two side rows only. A centre row, if your design needs one, is extra.
