Generated explanation

The illustration compares proper and improper skirting beneath an elevated porch. The main side view shows skirting between a brick column and the house wall, with screened ventilation and a hinged access door. A curb separates the wood skirting from the soil, and stairs and a balustrade serve the porch above. An inset shows defective skirting with missing paint or stain, wood-to-soil contact, and rot or insect damage. The inset also identifies the lack of access and ventilation as improper conditions.
