Can these be used on vinyl siding on a protected porch?

I am not sure, without asking the company; however, they are sooo stong, I would expect it!

As long as the siding panels are horizontal and you have a way to get the tab up under the panel, you should be fine.

I used it on vinyl. It goes under the seam so you aren't actually attaching it to the siding (which is the reason I purchased it). I didn't want to make holes in my new siding.

Probably no more than ten pounds. I think they are probably sturdier on aluminum siding than on vinyl.

I have vinyl siding on my house. I just tried it on my house. It did not work.

I would say no.. This guns shoots normal (small) head nails and I typically use roofing nails for installing vinyl siding. You also need to leave the nails loose so the vinyl siding can expand and contract. I think it would be hard to leave the nails loose with any power nailer.

We have 2 of them, one in our sunroom and one on our covered front porch,and they both work fine. I would not suggest putting them out on a fence or somewhere that they get direct exposure to the elements, but they work fine on our covered porch.

No, I don't think they would be good for outdoor use unless you were using them in a completely enclosed porch where they would not be exposed to the weather. If they got wet they would not dry out properly.

Yes it can be used for cedar siding and is semi-transparent; however, the blue color remains for months and may not completely go away. In any case I like the bluish green color for fences but maybe not for shingles. I used this product for my cedar fence last year. The blue color is now faded somewhat. I've used copper naphthenate preservatives for over 40 yrs and find them to be very effective in preventing wood rot either above or below ground level.

You can. We have them on both enclosed (screened) and open porches in South Carolina. No safety problem.

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.

I use it on my composite deck and white vinyl deck railing and it works fine. I'm not sure about vinyl house siding.

The product is intended for wood that will not be subjected to repeated wettings. It is for framing and anything else under the WRB. Therefore I would not recommend it for siding application.

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

Yes. Just try to avoid the horizontal ridges. If you stay close to the center of each "lap" you should be fine. The standoff works better on vinyl (and any other type of siding) than a standard ladder in protecting the siding surface.

I wouldn't see why not, as long as it's hooked into the siding. They are very sturdy.

I use it on my vinyl siding with no problems, so I think it would be all right on PVC fencing.
