A while back, we talked about some of the common causes of warped siding. One that surprises a lot of homeowners is how much damage a BBQ can do when it's placed too close to the house.🔥🏡
These photos are a good example.
It's not always an open flame that causes the problem. The heat coming off a barbeque can be enough to warp, melt, discolor, or permanently damaged vinyl siding.
A few things to keep in mind:
🔥Keep barbecues a safe distance from your home (3 to 10 feet)
🔥Be mindful of heat when opening the lid
🔥Watch for siding that starts to look wavy, bubbled, or discolored
🔥Don't forget about fire tables and patio heaters too
The good news ? It's one of the easiest causes of siding damage to prevent.
Have you ever seen siding damaged by a BBQ before ?
