Install a strip of insect netting along the bottom edge of the concrete wall by nailing the netting to the furring strips.
Attaching metal siding to concrete blocks.
Use concrete screws to attach the boards to the block.
This will prevent insects from nesting between the siding and the concrete.
They can be anchored to brick block or concrete either horizontally or vertically.
Furring strips are typically 1 x 2 or 1 x 3.
All of these boards serve as furring strips and provide a structural base for attaching the vinyl siding.
In most applications vertical anchoring is easier.
Place a piece of painter s tape on the drill bit to indicate the depth of the concrete anchor the thickness of the metal and an additional 3 8 inch.
Furring strips are long thin strips of metal or wood that create a support system for a finished surface in a room.
The netting should reach about 1 foot up the wall and overlap the ground slightly to form a barrier between the ground and the concrete.
