Storm-Ready Mobile Home Tie-Downs You Can Depend On
Florida’s mobile and manufactured homes are especially vulnerable during wind events and hurricanes. Without the proper anchoring system, homes can shift, lift, or suffer catastrophic damage.
Our hurricane-rated tie-down systems are designed to keep your home firmly grounded during high winds and tropical storms. With Florida Anchor & Barrier, you can stop worrying about whether your home will withstand the next storm—we make sure it’s secure.

1. What are mobile home tie-downs and why are they required in Florida?
Mobile home tie-downs are anchoring systems that secure manufactured homes to the ground. In Florida, they’re required by state law to protect homes from high winds, hurricanes, and shifting soil. Proper tie-downs keep your home safe, level, and storm-ready.
2. How many tie-downs are required for a mobile home in Florida?
The number depends on the size of your home and the wind zone it’s located in. On average, most Florida mobile homes require 12–20 tie-downs, with anchors installed at specific intervals along the home’s perimeter. Florida Anchor & Barrier provides inspections to ensure your system meets code.
3. How often should mobile home tie-downs be inspected in Florida?
We recommend an inspection at least every 2–3 years or after major storms. Florida’s climate, with its salt air, moisture, and hurricanes, can cause rust, loosening, and anchor movement over time.
4. What type of anchors are best for Florida’s sandy soil?
Auger anchors (screw-in anchors) are the most common and effective in Florida’s sandy and loamy soils. They’re driven deep into the ground and tightened with tension devices for maximum hold.
5. What’s the difference between over-the-top tie-downs and frame anchors?
Over-the-top tie-downs wrap over the roof and are less common today.
Frame anchors attach directly to the home’s steel frame, making them stronger, more modern, and code-compliant in Florida.
6. Can mobile home tie-downs prevent hurricane damage?
Yes, when installed to Florida Wind Zone II and III standards, tie-downs greatly reduce the risk of homes shifting, lifting, or rolling during hurricanes. While no system can guarantee zero damage, they are one of the most effective protections available.
7. How much does it cost to install tie-downs on a mobile home in Florida?
Costs vary depending on home size and soil type, but most installations in Florida range from $1,800 to $3,500. Florida Anchor & Barrier offers free estimates and customized solutions based on your home’s needs.
8. Do older mobile homes need tie-down upgrades in Florida?
Yes. Homes built before 1994 may not meet current HUD and Florida anchoring requirements. Upgrading to modern, hurricane-rated tie-downs ensures compliance and maximum safety.
9. Are tie-downs required if my mobile home has skirting?
Yes. Skirting alone does not anchor your home—it only provides wind protection under the structure. Tie-downs are still required by Florida building codes.
10. How do I know if my tie-downs are failing?
Signs include:
Loose or leaning anchors
Rusted or corroded straps and rods
Home shifting, rocking, or becoming unlevel
Visible cracks in piers or supports
11. What are longitudinal stabilizers for mobile homes?
Longitudinal stabilizers are add-ons that reinforce tie-downs, preventing side-to-side movement. They’re especially recommended for Florida homeowners in hurricane-prone areas.
12. Do mobile home tie-downs add value to my property?
Yes. Buyers are more confident in homes that meet modern safety codes. Having Florida-approved tie-downs installed increases resale value and reduces insurance concerns.
13. How long do mobile home tie-downs last in Florida?
High-quality galvanized steel tie-downs typically last 15–20 years, but salt air, moisture, and hurricanes may shorten their lifespan. Regular inspection and maintenance are key.
14. Can insurance companies require tie-down upgrades in Florida?
Yes. Many Florida insurance providers require proof of up-to-date anchoring systems to issue or renew policies. Proper tie-downs may also help lower premiums.
15. Can I install mobile home tie-downs myself?
DIY is not recommended. Florida codes are strict, and improper installation can fail during storms. Professional installation by Florida Anchor & Barrier ensures compliance and safety.
16. Do tie-down requirements change depending on where I live in Florida?
Yes. Coastal areas in Wind Zone III require stronger anchoring systems than inland Wind Zone II regions. Our team installs systems designed for your specific zone and soil.
17. What’s included in a tie-down installation by Florida Anchor & Barrier?
Site inspection & soil evaluation
Installation of hurricane-rated auger anchors
Heavy-duty galvanized steel straps and turnbuckles
Proper tensioning for maximum security
Optional stabilizers and concrete piers for added strength
18. How do mobile home tie-downs keep homes level?
Tie-downs prevent homes from shifting due to wind and soil movement. By holding the steel frame firmly in place, they maintain level flooring and reduce structural stress.
19. Do Florida mobile home parks require tie-down inspections?
Yes, many mobile home parks and HOAs in Florida require regular tie-down inspections and upgrades as part of compliance with local wind and safety regulations.
