The north zone middle zone and the south zone are identified on the roof load zone map above.

Of snow on the roof a 90 lb. Homes in non snowy areas usually come with 20 lb. The load levels created by hud code are based on how many pounds per square foot of snow the roof must resist and hud code must be met by the builder. It is not just how important it is to the amount of snow in your area although that is the main point of the snow load.

One last word on roof pitch is safety. The roof construction to meet a certain snow load is directly relative to the spacing on the roof trusses. Having a stronger built roof will give you a stronger built home. Roof loads are a downward vertical force on the home.

In heavy snow areas where you might get 5 or 6 ft. In areas where you might get 2 or 3 ft. The roof is an integral factor of the strength of the entire home. In my experience a heavier roof snow load is always better.

The general rule of thumb is 20lb 24 centers 30lb 16 centers 40lb 12 centers. While modular homes are generally built to local codes and manufactured homes are built to hud code roof load requirements are unique. There are other slight changes depending on the configuration of the ridge beam. Of snow you should upgrade to the 50 lb.
