The hooks slip in the cracks of the siding and do not require drilling. To use the hooks, slip the top ends of the hangar securely into the cracks in the siding.ou'll need to check both the weight limit on the package and the weight of your flower box (filled). Consider installing boxes on balcony or stair railings instead of a window. Purchase window box hangers from a hardware store that attach to your railing securely.
