How To Attache Hook To The Siding

For siding that has two sections called ship lap there is a rib running horizontally in the middle of the piece.

How to attache hook to the siding.

You may have to make a small notch on the lower lip of the slat for the wire to pass through. Slide the end. Attach the siding to the wall with a nail in each section of the nail strip. My vinyl siding pieces are molded to look like two planks together which means that the hooks only work between separated planks.

Trying to place the screw through that middle rib can be awkward. Anchor deck joists to the ledger with joist hangers filling each hole with galvanized joist hanger nails rated for pressure treated wood. Then hang your decorations on the bottom of the hook. This hooks it onto the bottom of the siding.

Slip the top of the hook underneath a piece of siding and wiggle it until it snaps into place. A third alternative is to hang a light item from a suction cup attached to the siding but this only works if the siding is smooth and untextured. Siding is intended to hang from the nails not to be nailed flat. Slide the bottom of the siding into the footer being sure to leave enough space to allow for expansion.

Gap between the end of the ledger and the ends of siding and fill it with high quality exterior caulk to keep water from leaking behind the ends of the ledger.
