How should horizontal vinyl siding be at outside corners?

  1. Mitered at the outside corners.

  2. Butted into vertical corner posts.

  3. Installed with vinyl corners allowing room for expansion.

  4. Butted at the outside corner and covered with a vinyl corner post.

The correct answer is: Butted at the outside corner and covered with a vinyl corner post.

Vinyl siding can expand and contract with temperature changes, so it is important to allow for this movement when installing siding at outside corners. Option A may create gaps or buckling if the siding cannot expand and contract freely. Option B may result in the corners being too rigid and potentially cracking. Option C is not as secure and may not provide enough support for the siding. Option D is the best option as it allows for the necessary movement of the siding while also providing proper support and coverage at the corners.
