Abstract
A fastening member which comprises a substrate; a horizontal portion perpendicularly projected from the substrate; an upwardly inclined hook portion obliquely extended upward from a distal edge of the horizontal portion; a downwardly inclined hook portion obliquely extended downward from the distal edge of the horizontal portion; and a flat plate portion extended parallel with the substrate from a distal edge of the upwardly inclined hook portion and/or of the downwardly inclined hook portion. The substrate may be provided with an urging means for pressing the back surface of a siding board to prevent slipping.
