How to Attach Wall Decor Without Drilling Holes in the Siding



Sidings are used to protect a building from rain, wind, and other harsh elements. They can be in the form of plastic, wood, metal, or cement attached to the structure. To avoid damaging it while beautifying your home, here are some alternative ways to hang a wall decor without drilling in the sidings such as:

Double-sided tape

Sidings are made of different materials and one of which is plastic. A double-sided adhesive tape is a good choice to get away with drilling while hanging a wall decor. No more using of hammer to fix a decor on place. All you need is to choose something that has lightweight since adhesive tapes are not that sturdy.


Monkey Hooks

Built-in hooks attached at the back of the decors are already popular alternatives to nails. This is ideal for wood sidings where you can push the small hook against it. It may be a weather-resistant wood such as the redwood and cedar, or a cheaper version, which is plywood. Hooks produce cleaner result that is more convenient to use. Unlike before where you have to use drills to hang decors on your wall, with the advancement of technology, everything is just a one step away.

3M hanging strips

Just like an adhesive tape, hanging strips best suit plastic as well as metal sidings. Since these are made of high quality materials, the strips are like glue that stick on the surface. Although strong, these are not made for large decors because the materials are intended to hold an average load only.

Vinyl siding hooks

No need to drill or use a hammer, just slip it under the vinyl siding and you now have an instant hook for your iron wall decor. With a capacity of as much as 10 pounds, it can be attached and removed anytime you want to. It is specially designed for vinyl, which is a handy hook that usually comes in a set of 4. Made of small metals whose both ends are curved, one end is used for fixing in place while, the other end is for hanging the decor.

Super glue

If you are in dire need to hang a decor without the creating a hole, I suggest you try a super glue to hold it in place. It has a strength that can hold heavy weight with just a drop of it. However, you can no longer transfer it from one place to another.
