In heavy snow areas where you might get 5 or 6 ft. The north zone middle zone and the south zone are identified on the roof load zone map above. Roof loads are a downward vertical force on the home. Homes in non snowy areas usually come with 20 lb.

In areas where you might get 2 or 3 ft. While modular homes are generally built to local codes and manufactured homes are built to hud code roof load requirements are unique. Roof load live load design is affected by the shape of the roof whether it is flat curved or pitched. The general rule of thumb is 20lb 24 centers 30lb 16 centers 40lb 12 centers.

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. The roof construction to meet a certain snow load is directly relative to the spacing on the roof trusses. 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. Of snow you should upgrade to the 50 lb.
