Builders Edge 130110006001 Octagon Mounting Block, W X 6-7/10 in H, White

Great product. Used it for hanging Ring video cam on the vinyl shingle wall.

Great price and good product

Came fast,,,we spray painted it to match our garage....will work perfectly!!

This will be just right for mounting an Inlet box on the side of my house, but I agree with other reviewers, this is NOT gray. It's white. I decided to paint it with some rattle can primer, and that turned out a little darker than I like, so I'll try some lighter gray if I can find it at the store. Just fyi, these are priced lower at the box stores but they don't stock them, so even though the color isn't correct at least they are available on Amazon.

This looks like whatever you are mounting on vinyl siding was made to go there, much nicer then just mounting a light or camera on the siding itself.

Needed hardware. Holes didn’t work for my needs. Returned

I have steel siding. An exterior light got sheared off when a strong wind broke the safety chain on a storm door. I tried a bunch of different fixes to re-attach a light to the siding, including copious amounts of silicon sealant. Nothing worked and wasps kept making nests behind the light fixture. An electrician recommended cutting a big portion of the siding away to make a box for light fixtures. When I had a guy come out to look at doing so, he told me to look on Amazon because there has to be a product to address this. The mounting block fit the contours of my siding really well and only needed a thin bead of silicon to fill in the gap. The light fixture mounted to it well. Have had it up for about a month with no issues at all.

I’ll add some clarity I felt the description, questions, and other reviews were lacking. The back has grooved sections to make it easier to cut out a circle or rectangle. The hole in the center provides a place your saw can start from. I found that if you cut out a wedge from the center, you could then snap out the circle bit by bit without actually having to make a curved cut. The fit isn’t perfect with my fiber cement siding, but it’s close enough. It might fit more snuggly against vinyl. I have 1/2” lap and one person in the question section said that’s what this was so I went for it. It does appear to be 1/2, but the profile is more rounded at the corner and my siding has a sharper corner, hence the fit not being perfectly snug. Fortunately I’m using it under the eaves so water shouldn’t be an issue—this was more about aesthetics for me.

Easy to install

This was easy install & actually worked for installing Ring device on our circa 1975 aluminum siding house....just need a good sealant to go around any gaps. Of course i say it was easy because my husband installed it, but it does look great!

It fit well for the purpose we needed it for

A polishing touch to installation of a flag on siding, that most homeowners don't bother with. I painted it to match the siding (recommended).

works great on 4 inch vinyl siding or larger. Nice to be able to find online, nothing in the local stores.
