WHY DO GARNETT HERITAGE SERIES DESIGNS LOOK SO DIFFERENTLY FROM MANY OF THE MODULAR HOUSE DESIGNS CURRENTLY BEING PRODUCED BY FACTORIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA?
The design uniqueness of the Garnett Heritage Series originated out of the modular factory resources on the West Coast of the U. S. and Canada. A number of modular factories, from British Columbia to southern California, have historically structured their manufacturing processes to build a much more custom product than their East Coast counterparts. Part and parcel to that building ethos is the fact that, due to the paucity of manufacturing facilities west of the Rocky Mountains, modules have to be transported rather heroic distances. To assure that modules arrive on site “tight and dry,” the West Coast factories, as part of their normal building protocols, commonly build ‘flat top” modules, modules without factory-built roof systems. These modules are covered with waterproof shipping membranes, and after the modules are installed on foundation, the set crews seal the “marriage lines,” i. e., the point where modules come together, with a peal-and-stick sealant, creating a totally water
