Hey Paul...really like the mounting idea...hope you made out ok with Hurricane Sally...my brother is a Fire Chief for Chatham Borough, New Jersey...thanks for your service!
Hey John it's great to hear from you buddy, how are things up there? We missed 3 big storms this month, 2 hurricanes and a tropical storm. We have been getting a lot of light rain and sometimes heavy but for the most part we are fine. Thank you for taking the time for me and have a great day!
I love watching your videos! I bought a home a few years ago and have a lot of diy projects in mind as time permits. Inevitably, I turn to UA-cam and do the research beforehand. I’m glad I found your site and always look forward to your videos. Even if it’s not a project I am working on (or the tools to work with), I enjoy learning! Enjoy your day!
Tip with that siding. When u side a house. No matter the hight differences. Go all around the house till all of your siding meets up. Whether its 1 run up or have a deck and have to go up 5 runs before you get to the j channel on deck. Once the siding matches the same around all around the house then start siding one side at a time. I see a lot of people run one side then next then next and they get to the last side and they have alot to make up. Or cut down. Just my way of siding a house.
You’re absolutely right Tony, I plan on doing a video on vinyl siding and I will show that you always put your starter channel or if you’re doing wood siding your first board all the way around and make sure it’s level. That’s the hardest part everything else falls into place. It’s always good to hear from you buddy have a great night!
I see your concern but these shutters are being held at a min. of 2 points for smaller shutters and 3 on larger ones. The wind would hve to come from underneath pushing the shutters straight up for them to be removed. I suggest a small dab pf silicone on 2 points to keep them from any movement, I recently had 50 mph gusts and I only had them sitting in place without silicone and they didn't budge. I am also looking into an extra safety measure for hurricane force winds. I will have information available as soon as I figure it out. I also have some really cool adaptations that I will share soon. Thanks for taking the time to watch and especially commenting. Have a great day Ofri!
Great info! Well explained mostly! However-To attach my DIY wood shutters to my brick home.. can I use masonry screws? What would you recommend to lock the french cleats to the brick? The peel and stick from cleats wouldn't be enough to hold them securely, allowing to slide on or off for maintenance? While researching how to go about this project for my home, I've been told brick could split? Yet I have seen several videos of people drilling directly into their brick homes when attaching said shutters. Tips?!
Susan Shultz; Google Hurricane Grey by Sherwin Williams exterior paint. It is extremely similar to the color of Paul’s house. The shutters looks stained and similar to Varathane’s Antique White or Vintage Aqua stain. I am a retired painter and have a eye for color and detail.
What about if the brick up top sticks out away from the wall? Right under the soffit, the brick is flush but then it slowly comes out away from the wall as you go toward the bottom of the brick? This makes our anchors too short to go into the eall
I have the same scenario as well . Paul , do you have any insight if your system will work with this scenario. The brick house in your video looks like it might be the same but hard to tell.
Paul, I checked your website and this channel for that super adhesive you mentioned for use on the brick install. What is the product? Can you provide a link? Thank you.
Superb video! Clear and concise. The shutters look awesome. Removable is a bonus 😃👍 I’m going to make these for my house. Thanks for sharing! Peace and blessings.
You have to put the adhesive on. The z bars you can get at orange aluminum. Price cannot be beat. They come in 6 foot lengths so you have to cut to desired length. The adhesive you want to use is VHB 3m 2 way tape. It's on Amazon. Just type in 3m VHB tape.
This one was unlisted for a while so I figured I would list it. My mother is very sick and I have been extremely busy so I will get stuff out as soon as I have time. Thanks
It looks nice and thank you for the hanging tips. Thank you for your service both protecting people, wildlife and teaching others 😊 I am trying to find a video that does the pine tree 🌲 cut out shutters…since I am surrounded by the various pine trees I thought it would be nice to embrace them by adding the simple accents to my house.
Thanks Brother. I do all my own work on our Farm, it saves me tons of money that i dont have available. I would love to hire someone but that cannot be the case.. Great Ideas you have..
Why are you damaging your wall and creating additional routes for water to penetrate with do nothing trim? If the “shutters” actually SHUT to protect the windows from being damaged during a storm as they were originally conceived it would be a different story.
Some shutters are made for storms and some are for looks. This does not damage anything. I am replacing non functional shutters that cannot be removed with an easy to install kit that allows you to take them off in seconds thus making it easy to clean or paint, not to mention it makes the original install much easier and faster.The double stick tape is waterproof and will not allow water to enter where the screws are applied so there are LESS chances for rot than with the original ones. Thanks!
Yes, we have both functional and non functional shutters. Functional shutters are more expensive and require more work to install. Many homes in the USA have shutters that are only meant to accent the windows. Thanks!
I didn't necessarily need a tutorial on building them but you did give me some ideas to make it faster. Love the removal trick. Will be buying

Finished mine today! Thanks for all of your advice.
Fantastic! I’m getting ready to make some for a good friend of mine. Then I have to make my sons lol.
You make semi amateur look like a professional

Great tips Paul, I appreciate your energy!
Excellent idea. Needing some more thought about strong winds etc. But looks promising

The wind would hve to come from underneath pushing the shutters straight up for them to be removed.

Put a wooden cam on the outside edge that you can turn to clamp/increase pressure against the cleat.
Be safe Paul. Thank you for another great video.
Thank you Paula, I really appreciate that!
Thank You going to make these this summer
Thanks for sharing Paul, stay safe.
You da man Paul!
Thanks, I really appreciate that!!
Great job. 👍🏼 very helpful tips. I'll be following you. Thank you! 👏🏼
Thanks man for sharing!
Helpful as always
Thank you Statton!
Thank You
Easy way to impress the wife, lol she asked me "where did you learn all this? I told her " It's in Paul's tool box channel darling " lol
You poor guy. Now she is going to watch the channel and expand the honeydew list.
Well there is always whisky... 🥃
@@chrisb9960 or beer and tequila
Another Great Vid!!!
I like the idea, BUTTTT, how will that double stick tape hold up to Florida sun?
That's awesome!
Please dont replace your siding with vinyl siding. If you have to. Use cement board or hardie.
Called it!
Yeah you did Coty, Great Job! I saw your previous comment but I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag! LOL Have a great day buddy!
@@paulstoolbox you too man. Keep up the great work!

Closable?
Hi Paul. Great video's, I have been binge watching. Question, What color is your house and trim? I love it!

Great video Paul. Do you have source for the cleats? Haven't seen any with the adhesive strip...

How would these work in a Minnesota winter? I like the idea.
*Great video Paul! Thanks for helping me out once again.*
Thanks I really appreciate you!

Please post to Parler and Rumble. There are a lot of people leaving this site due to unfair policies.

These are just decorative if I understand correctly? Have this always been the case in American history?
Yes, we have both functional and non functional shutters. Functional shutters are more expensive and require more work to install. Many homes in the USA have shutters that are only meant to accent the windows. Thanks!
How do you close these shutters?
Hi Paul! Thanks for the video! 1:23 Gotta love a guy who's not afraid to admit his mistakes! 😍 Stay Safe!!
It is ALWAYS good to hear from you SandiRose, thank you and have a great day!
Thanks Paul. 👍
Great video yet again. We are going to use this mounting this week.
