The Manufactured Housing Forums

Hi, We are looking for manufactured houses that offer metal studs & other metal components in their construction to put on our property. Can any one please give me some leads where I can find them? Or perhaps a custom manufacturer who's willing to make one for us. My eyes are weary from searching the net. Oh, we're on the west coast. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Only place I know of is in Hawaii - using metal because of the weather and bugs. Any commercial builder will work with metal. Is there a specific reason you want metal?

My husband works with metal all day long ( machinist & welder ) and he also just built a large metal shed and rebuilt our fencing ( metal 4x4 supports with redwood boards out back & decorative metal fencing out front ) He likes the strength, no chance of wood rot, termites, fireproof, etc. He likes things to last, low maintenance, fireproof & feels that he gets that with metal. He also said he watched a program on tv that showed the construction of a manufactured home that was built with metal studs. So I've been searching for him on the net & getting nowhere.

Isaw the same program....It was about a manufacturer in Hawaii....Delivery would be impossible.....I know of no manufacturer using metal studs..Call a few custom builders and as the engineering department why they are not offered....

Thanks so much guys! Now I can tell him & stop searching for something that's not available. And I will start asking the engineering depts of the places I end up contacting in my area. You have saved my poor weary eyes!...
