Park home moving walls

Posts: 24 Forumite
Hi I am moving to a Park home and it has an office. I want to move a wall in the office about 28cm to be able to put a single bed in there. This brings the wall across a glass door. There are two doors together in this stately albion park home. Can the glass door be replaced with an outer wall in a park home? Therefore leaving one door not 2.

What does your contract say?0

"Park Home" is a posh name for a static caravan.They are not built like houses. Think of a flimsy structure, they often rely on internal walls to support the roof and making changes might affect the already marginal structural integrity.I know someone that bought a static caravan, removed all the internal walls to use it as an office. It worked well until the snow fell in the first winter, and the now inadequately supported roof collapsed under the weight of the snow.2

Presumably you are talking about the external doors, in which case there may be fire escape/safety considerations.JFT1 said:Therefore leaving one door not 2.0 -
My contract only involved the outside of the park home. As to the roof collapsing I only intend moving the wall 28cm not removing it and it is only 3ft long. This park home has two doors that can open up together or seperate. So one door would still exist.0

No a park home is not a posh name for a static caravan. They are two entirely different structures built to different standards.ProDave said:"Park Home" is a posh name for a static caravan.They are not built like houses.
