What is the Aleko recommendation for installation on vinyl siding? I see there was another person who posted this question but it went unanswered.

Our Handyman used a 2 x 4 cut to the length of the width of the awning and mounted that to our siding actually under the eave where it was going to go and it's sturdy and perfect. He didn't feel going straight Into siding would hold. He painted wood to match trim. Hope this helps.

See the comments I posted on the question about hardware included....it should help....

My guess is that you would first need to cut a rectangular hole in the vinyl siding probably 1.5 inches wide and 4 inches high at either end so that you can get a good solid footing for the mounting bracket. Then you would need to find a stud in order to get a fastener securely mounted--probably a 3/8 lag that is 4 inches long. The sunshade isn't extremely heavy, but when it is extended there is a lot of torque on the mounting bracket, especially if a wind hits it. I'm not sure how you would mount it on a block or concrete wall. Mine is mounted on the face of a 2 by 12 with 5/16 inch bolts.

I am very happy with the product. Works as advertised. I live in FL and the weather is tough. But it is holding on well

I don't think so. Any varnish is made with oil which is made to penetrate into wood, obviously not possible with a vinyl surface. There are a number of protective finishes specifically made for vinyl (particularly vinyl siding) and this is what I would go for.

YES. I used it on vinyl siding this spring and it seems to be working fine.

That's a rather generic question. I'll make a couple of assumptions. 1) You mean house siding and therefore outside 2) You mean vinyl or painted siding. That being said, it will stick to either, however, this is not outdoor adhesive and is more affected by temperature and water so it won't stick for too long. If you're looking for something longer term, I'd suggest looking at their outdoor products.

I did not use it on siding but I did on roofing and it has performed terrible. I would not recommend it. If you want to buy one I will sell you one at a third of what anyone else will charge you. I have used it on roofing and have to open the chamber after every few shots to move the nails forward.

I've did my entire sun-room (16X20) which are all vinyl and have had no problems. I dilute it as it directs and I Never allow it dry on anything which "may" make the difference but, I like it and have had No problems and will continue to use it. That is "my" personal experience with it on vinyl.

I returned the awning because I was unable to mount it onto siding, so I cannot answer your question. Sorry.

arlington industries website has a pdf catalog. download that and pick the correct model. There are models for brick, vinyl siding, stucco, insulated foam wall systems, vertical, horizontal, white, clear, etc. etc. find the model number and then search amazon or go0gle sh0pping for it. good luck

I don't know about the siding, I installed them in my chicken coop which is just wood. Hope you find the answer.

The adhesive will give way under weather.There is a centered hole that you can screw or nail them into the siding That worked for me

I suggest you contact mold armor discuss or with a hardware store expert (Lowes or home depot). I would stay away from any hard bleach products. All I know for sure is that it worked extremely well on vinyl siding.

Both models (the plastic and the aluminum style) of the Gecko siding gauge Amazon sells adjust to a maximum 8 inch reveal (the part that you see exposed after its nailed up). For 12 inch siding the reveal is about 10 3/4 inches so these wouldn't work. Pac tool says in the literature that came with these that they can make them any size you want, just contact them. Of course the custom built ones couldn't be bought at Amazon prices but these gauges work so well and make siding installation go so fast that they might be worth the investment. Otherwise you can use the type gauge that hangs from the top of the previously nailed course and gauge the overlap instead of the reveal. These gauges (such as the Malco FCG2 which is also sold on Amazon) work with any reveal width. I've used both styles and these aren't as accurate in my opinion since the top edge of hardi-plank tends to be rough, and they are a little harder to use, but still make putting up planks a 1-man job suitable for a weekend warrior. These "hanging type" gauges are also better for pre-painted siding because I found it easier to accidentally mar the painted surface with the Gecko gauge.

we had to put up a wood frame (we used fir) that was attached to our house with nails. It is vinyl siding. When the day comes that we remove the frame, we will have to seal the nail holes. When we take the room down for the winter however, we will leave the frame up.

Btw....wonderful tool be ready to get wet!! Don't spray to close to building or home unless you have brick walls. Aluminum siding will fly off if you spray too close. If spraying gutters I suggest to be prepared to spray entire home. It's A Mess especially if they're really dirty. Alert your neighbors before hand , because they will be affected as well. Oh!!!! Get ready to spray their home too...it's a mess!!

We made louvered shaped spacers out of oak that matched the outline of the siding. This made a hard flat surface to mount the arm brackets, but we had no trouble with installation.

Yes. I did my whole porch and it looks fantastic. I am right on the water so we get blasted with sun and wind. Get a heat gun and get it as tight as possible, then hear away the finial wrinkles. It looks amazing. My old vinyl was shot, this was the best makeover for my porch ever

Chris, I had the same problem. I used a recessed deco plate on my siding that sits flat against the wall. The box hinges hit the deco box. So I just bought another box and put the Taymac on top of that box...Plenty of clearance now....Dennis
