a plurality of panels, each panel comprising a front face, a back surface opposite the front face, and an inner wall extending from the back surface and formed at least partially along a perimeter of the panel, wherein at least one of the panels comprises a rib extending from the back surface; and

a clip comprising a first slot configured to engage the rib of one of the plurality of panels and a second slot configured to engage at least one of the inner walls of another of the plurality of panels to hold the panels in direct contact with each other.

2. The corner siding product of claim 1, wherein the rib extends rearward from the back surface.

3. The corner siding product of claim 1, wherein the first slot and the second slot are substantially perpendicular.

4. The corner siding product of claim 1, wherein the first slot is wider than the second slot.

5. The corner siding product of claim 1, wherein the clip comprises a third slot configured to engage at least one of the inner walls of the plurality of panels.

6. The corner siding product of claim 5, wherein the second slot and the third slot are configured to engage the same inner wall of the plurality of panels.

7. The corner siding product of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of panels comprises a rib extending from the back surface.
