Does anyone know how to hang a heavy wreath on a house with vinyl siding??? Please Help!!!?

I just bought a good sized wreath that i want to hang right on my house but I don't know what to hang it with I have already tried those sticky hooks but it is to heavy. Oh yeah and the wreath will be hung pretty high on the house.

Does anyone know how to hang a heavy wreath on a house with vinyl siding??? Please Help!!!?
Maybe you can install some hooks on the underside of the eaves equidistant from the location for the wreath and one down below the location of the wreath (maybe even a stake in the ground). Tie the wreath to the two hooks above with wire and adjust to the spot and height you want. Run another length of wire to the hook below to keep it in place. You can leave the hooks in place for use year after year. I've done this before and it always seemed better to me than drilling through siding.





Good luck.

If your going to hang it pretty high you would be better off by screwing a screw into the siding to the wood beneath. Make sure the screw is long enough though and is rust proof. Caulk around the screw to keep it from leaking and also make sure the caulk is flexible because vinyl siding expands and contracts in the weather.


Just leave the screw there so that it will be there for next year or so you can hang other things in the years to come.





Also you can sometimes get the same color caulk as the siding, if not just go with clear.


Know one will ever know its there but you!





Merry Christmas!
