Last year we originally tried hanging our skirting with heavy duty suction cups, but even with following all of the instructions for using them they wouldn’t stay stuck. I was very glad to find the adhesive hooks we ended up using.

After we got the skirting hung along the top, we went around the bottom punching holes and pounding in tent stakes.

Going around the stairs was kind of tricky. I ended up taking the vinyl across the front underneath them, and then added a second piece to line the area behind the steps, hung from adhesive hooks from the steel frame.
