Attaching String Lights To Vinyl Siding

If you have vinyl siding you may be wondering how you can add decor to it without damaging your home with nails or screws.

Attaching string lights to vinyl siding.

Hanging decorative lights on siding. Attach the outlet on the string lights to an extension cord. This renders the siding vulnerable to moisture and voids the warranty even if you seal the hole. We would like to show you a description here but the site won t allow us.

Snake the cord down to your power source and plug it in. Hooks made to hang light strings have a flap or catch built in to secure the cord. Hang string lights in or on shrubs. Push the wire through the cable connecter then screw the block to the sheathing.

If you want to hang something from your vinyl siding don t even think about drilling through it to attach a hook to the sheathing. We did just screw it to the vinyl siding. Adhesive hooks may be either permanent or removable. You can also use hooks that have holes or slots and attach the light string with a cable tie through the slot on the hook.

Aim for a natural look instead of a uniform architectural style. Clear plastic hooks blend in with the house siding and are the least visible. When it s time to decorate for a party or a holiday lights add a festive element to the outside of your home. Drape your string lights between tree branches.

However you can spruce up your backyard or outdoor space without using a drill or staple gun in one of these ways. Permanently installing string lights means they re ready to use whenever you want. Vinyl mounting blocks are available for almost any lap and securely hold lights upright. Secure the cord to a wall or a post with cord clips.

It felt way too busy like a crazy web. Here s an easy way to do it. We did try to do the string lights off the kitchen door and then along the deck railing. If desired install an outlet timer so your lights automatically turn on and off.

To attach to the deck and also in the below photo you can see how we attached the screens together by putting a screw thru the garden stakes.
