A free printable manufactured home tie-down record: every anchor numbered on a sketch, its strap and condition at each inspection, and checks after storms.

Keep track of every anchor and strap holding a manufactured home down. A slack or rusted strap shows up as a code in the grid long before a storm finds it.
Owners and tenants of manufactured and mobile homes, and park managers who check them.
2 pages, in this order:
Printed under the title: Every anchor and strap holding a manufactured or mobile home down, numbered on a sketch and checked at each inspection and after every storm. Keep it with the installation manual.
The manual sets the numbers. How many anchors a home needs, where they go and how tight the straps should be come from the home's installation manual and the rules where you are, so none are printed here. This sheet records what is fitted and the state it is in. Anything slack, rusted, frayed or pulled out goes to a qualified installer.

The number, spacing and type of anchors depend on the home, the ground and the wind it has to stand up to, and they are set by the installation manual and the rules where you are. Copy them from the manual, which should stay with the home.
The installation manual says how straps should be tensioned and with what. If you are not sure, or an anchor head has moved or the ground has shifted, ask a qualified installer rather than guessing.
Keep one continuous record of everything that has been serviced, repaired or replaced, so the history of the building exists in one place rather than in a drawer of loose invoices.
Remember who did what, what it cost, and who was worth calling back — and have a dated record if a dispute ever starts.
Keep a claim's own timeline and costs written down as they happen, so a stalled or disputed claim has a dated record behind it rather than a memory of what was promised.
Put the numbers somebody needs in one place, so a house-sitter, a babysitter, a visiting relative or a tenant is not searching for them at the worst moment.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
