John, several options bit you should run them by your local building officials.
1. Remove the siding where the roof/awning is to be attached & mount the edge
of the roof/awning to the sheathing. You might need tar paper or a membrane
behind it. Put flashing behind the upper siding & onto the roof/awning.
2. Drill some oversized holes through the siding & add spacers through the
holes & secure the roof/ awning with lag bolts. There should be an air space
between the siding & the roof framing. Flash as above.
Peace,
Pat

we built an addition onto the house and it's covered in standard run of the
mill vinyl siding. Off that we built a 12wx10d p.t. deck. The deck is
accessed by a double French door with only one moving door. I either want to
add an awning over the door or maybe cover the entire deck with a roof... The
vinyl siding copies lap siding and doesn't offer a nice flat surface to attach
a header to. What is the approved method for attaching something
permanent to a vinyl sided wall. There is particle board beneath the siding
and of course it's a studded wall so I have a sound surface to use but don't
know about the siding and attaching over it... Suggestions ?? the pic is
not the actual wall just a sample of what it is.
