A siding panel, comprising:
- a siding body having a front surface, a rear surface, an upper edge, and a lower edge;
- a hanger section extending from the upper edge and comprising an upper converging bend, the hanger section further comprising a lower lateral wall extending inwardly from the upper edge of the siding body;
- and
- a lower locking section extending from the lower edge and comprising:
- a lower return leg;
- an upward extending lip;
- and
- a locking flange extending from the upwardly extending lip,
- wherein the locking flange is configured to be inserted into a recessed locking section of a hanger section of an adjacent siding panel, and
