May 23, 2018 by Laura Kiernan 2 Comments

If you want to quickly curb appeal to your home’s exterior or decor to your porch walls, then you’re probably wondering how to hang things on vinyl siding. It’s actually easier than you think to hang decor on vinyl siding without using nails or damaging your home!

Easy ways to hang decor on vinyl siding

Like many American homes, our garrison colonial has vinyl siding.

The previous homeowners only installed vinyl siding on the back addition, and not on the main part of the house. So we have this odd combination of wood siding in front and vinyl siding in the back that’s not super appealing.

But do you know how expensive it is to put new, quality vinyl siding on an entire house?

It’s really friggin’ expensive. So for now, we work with what we have.

Find the right hooks for vinyl siding

Before you hang your decor, you need to make sure that you’re using the right kind of hooks made specifically for vinyl siding. Many of them are s-shaped so that one end tucks behind the siding planks.

These are the exact vinyl siding hooks I used to hang the metal wall decor on the walls of our screened-in porch and they ship free if you’re an Amazon Prime member.

The hooks come in a pack of six, and this version holds up to five pounds. The vinyl siding hooks are made of plastic and worked perfectly to hang my lightweight metal wall decor.

How to install the hooks on your vinyl siding

First, read the directions! Installing the vinyl siding hooks is super easy to do, but always double-check the directions.

When you’re ready to hang things on your vinyl siding, push the curved part of the hook between the siding panels. Give the hook a gentle tug to make sure it’s secure.

My vinyl siding pieces are molded to look like two planks together, which means that the hooks only work between separated planks. The hooks need a spot to grip.

This is what the vinyl siding hook looks like after you install them:

And that’s all there is to it!

Because of how the plaques are made, I used wire to hang them. I simply popped the wire over the vinyl siding hook and used a level to hang the plaques evenly.

Well, at least until a child runs past and tilts them off-center!

Where to Buy Vinyl Siding Hooks

From my research on Amazon, it seems that most vinyl siding hooks claim to hold up to five pounds.

So, if you plan to use them to support window boxes or flower pots, be sure to use a few metal hooks to disperse the weight.

Oh, and make sure your vinyl siding is in good shape and securely attached before you try to hang anything substantial on it.

Now that you know how things on vinyl siding and where to buy the right kind of hooks, it’s time to start decorating! Be sure to check out my ideas for decorating a small porch!
