HardiPlank siding

[Linda O.]

My Skyline has HardiPlank vertical siding. Can I attach plant hooks, etc. using a drill & screws as you would with wood? Any sealant over it? Nails OK?

Thanks,
Linda

Look for caulked and painted nails in the siding. You will find studs behind them for even more support. I see no reason you cant add a couple of hooks here and there with no problem

You will need a diamond tiped drill bit...that stuff is tough..
