Fall and winter can be the best time to install vinyl siding.
How to put vinyl siding around pipes.
If vinyl siding don t remove a whole notch just slit the siding below the pipe hole twist to fit around the pipe then slip another smallish scrap of siding in from behind silicone optional to hold the slit closed.
It ranges from 035 to 055 inches.
Remove any siding or exterior finish that isn t compatible with vinyl siding and make sure the walls are sheathed with a substrate to receive the siding.
It helps a lot if the slit isn t dead centered on the pipe hole but rather at either horizontal edge of the hole.
Buy one of these incredible vinyl siding blades from irwin to make this job easier.
If you re using a sliding miter saw and the siding is still chipping try slowly pulling the saw backward through the siding.
Better siding is 04 to 048.

1 2 inch 1 3 cm plywood or osb are common substrates and these are generally covered with roofing felt or another moisture barrier prior to siding the walls.
Another option is to cut the pvc vent pipes drill holes in the new siding install the siding and use pvc connectors.
Buy a blade made to cut vinyl siding.
Because few people do it in the fall and winter installer are more readily available and you may be able to get a good deal.

Install siding at the top of a window or door in a similar fashion but this time set the siding on the window channel and use the window trim to mark the cut.
They re cheap and available at any home center.
