Do It Yourself Build a Shed – Installing Vinyl Shutters
In this video, I demonstrate how I install vinyl shutters over vinyl siding to improve the look of my shed.
My windows are 17 inches by 35 inches and include J-Channel for the siding making the window appear slightly larger. The shutters I purchased are 14 3/4 inches wide by 35 inches tall. These come with 8 screws and 8 plastic spikes. You can decide which you choose to use. I chose to use the spikes.
Installation was easy but as you can see in my intro care must be taken when installing the spikes. I used a hammer to install them, which was fine with very light taps that were perfectly aligned with the spike. I purchased a pack of viny shutter spikes to replace the broken one.

Our Thoughts
We love the look of the black shutters coordinating with the black lights over the grey siding contrasting with the white trim.
