Anchor pier for manufactured building

An anchor pier for supporting a manufactured building, comprising:

• a shaft having a U-shaped connector having a base attached at a first end of the shaft and a driving tip at an opposing end with at least one helical flight positioned proximate the driving tip, for driving through a surface of ground beneath a manufactured building to position the U-shaped connector proximate the surface, for interaction of the shaft and the helical flight with the ground to communicate vertical loading between the building and the ground;
• a pair of opposed side walls upstanding from the base, each side wall defining an opening aligned with the opening in the opposing side wall;
• a brace member defining a through opening proximate a first end for attaching at a first end to the U-shaped connector and attaching at an opposing second end to the manufactured building for vertically supporting the manufactured building relative to the ground;
• a first fastener extending through the aligned openings in the opposing side walls and the brace member for engaging the first end of the brace member to the U-shaped connector;
• and
• a strap for securing at a first end to the U-shaped connector and at a second end to the manufactured building, said strap extending perpendicular from the U-shaped connector to the manufactured building,
• whereby the shaft and the helical flight driven into the ground below the manufactured building transfers vertical compression loading from the manufactured building through the brace member to the ground and the strap resists vertical tension loading on the manufactured building.
