Abstract: A mounting clip is used to position and mount a siding board to a portion of a wall disposed adjacent a foundation that supports the wall. The mounting clip includes a base that extends between a top end and a bottom end. The mounting clip also includes a shelf that is fixedly secured to the bottom end of the base. The shelf receives the siding board thereon. The mounting clip also includes an extension that is fixedly secured to the top end of the base extending upwardly away from the base. The extension defines a hole. The hole defines a predetermined distance from the shelf to allow the mounting clip to be fixedly secured to the wall such that the shelf extends down over the foundation to allow the siding board to cover a portion of the foundation as well as a portion of the wall.

Abstract: A mounting clip is designed to assist positioning and mounting of a first siding board to a wall overlapping a portion of a second siding board. The mounting clip includes a hanger which hangs the mounting clip on the second siding board. The mounting clip also includes a shelf. The shelf positions the first siding board such that the first siding board overlaps the second siding board. The mounting clip allows a single installer to accurately and efficiently install siding boards. The base of the mounting clips can be used as a guide to identify the portion of the siding board that can be nailed to the wall because the clip identifies the area that is going to be covered by the next siding board. An air gap between the wall and the siding boards is created by the mounting clip and prevents moisture from being trapped therebetween.
