Abstract
A ground cover strip is provided for use with a modular home skirting system to provide ground cover for protecting the skirting system during grounds maintenance and for suppressing vegetation. The ground cover strip includes flexible straight and corner pieces laid end-to-end on the ground surface around a perimeter of the modular home. The ground cover strip has a bottom, an outer edge, an inner edge, and a top between the outer and inner edges. The top has an open channel formed therein which faces upwardly and receives a base of a ground channel member. The top also has an outer portion that slopes downwardly from the open channel to the outer edge. Anchoring spikes are driven through the base of the ground channel member and the ground cover strip and into the ground to anchor the ground cover strip and the ground channel member to the ground.
