ABSTRACT:
An improved siding panel has a fastening hem that includes an engagement member structured to extend outwardly from a building when the siding panel is mounted to the building. The engagement member is generally trapezoid-shaped in cross section and includes a first leg, a second leg, and an apex portion disposed therebetween, with spaced elongated openings being formed in the apex portion. The siding panel is cooperable with a fastener having an elongated shank and a head to mount the siding panel to the building. The siding panel is mounted to the building by receiving the shank through one of the openings. During certain wind loading, the apex portion is engageable with the head, which thereby deflects the first and second legs from a relaxed position to a deflected position where the edges of the opening can engage the shank of the fastener to provide a greater resistance to wind loading.
