We get asked all the time how a park home is transported and put together. A park home can be built in one or two pieces, generally known as a single park home or a double park home. The first and simple one is a single park home, which is simply built in one piece, brought from the manufacturer to the park on an artic lorry adapted specifically to carry park homes yet keep the height below the maximum permitted, generally most single park homes now are built in a 14 foot width, meaning they have to be followed to the park by another vehicle.
When they arrive the park home is towed into the park and into position by a specially modified jeep or jcb. It is then lifted onto axle stands provided by the manufacturer to get them exactly level and secure.
It is this process which means a park home feels solid to walk through, rather than moving underfoot like a caravan or static caravan.
A twin or double park home is basically done following the same process although it is built in two halves so that it can be transported on public roads with both halves being 10 to 12 feet wide, they are brought to the park in the same way as a single park home, however the two halves have to be joined together on the plot before the park home is raised onto the axle stands.
The park home joining team then decorate the inside of the park home on site so that the joints are barely visible or completely invisible if the optional ‘invisible joints’ are used.
