Default Hanging things on vinyl siding

We bought a villa in ST. Charles made of vinyl siding. I want to hang a round decorative thermometer and a few other things. Can this be done and How? thanks

Try Ace Hardware on 466. That's where we got our hooks for vinyl siding. Great!

3M makes some hooks widely available that hang without penetration and don't leave marks. They're pretty sturdy it seems. Walmart, Ace, most anywhere.

If you can't find any hooks, and the items you want to hang aren't very heavy, you can use a paper clip. I have used them by opening them up and bending them so they will hook under the siding with the other end forming a hook on the outside.

Will these incredible hooks work on aluminum siding also?

Yes, we are in the historic section, what can I say?

Rust stains could be unsightly.

You might try to think about a double sided tape. Some of those tapes are strong enough to attach and hold some large and heavy things. It could be taken off anytime, just like some other tapes.SEO Services
