How can I drive nails into stucco walls?
My house has stucco walls. I'm trying to train a beautiful vine up the walls but every nail I hammer into the stucco either bends or a chunk of stucco breaks off. What am I doing wrong. Can someone give me step by step instructions, please.
Answer: I agree with the other answers about drilling a pilot hole, but you need to drive the nails into the wall studs. Stucco alone will not support the weight of your plant once it gets big.
A word of caution about plants on the wall, once they get big they can rip your roof apart. Keep them well trimmed and away from the eaves.
