A method of continuously producing a series of elongated siding panels each having an attached longitudinally extending support strip, comprising the steps of forming a continuous support strip and a continuous siding panel each having a predetermined cross-sectional profile, notching and cutting a longitudinal portion of the siding panel and a longitudinal portion of the support strip to form longitudinally spaced slots and corresponding hook-shaped tabs with the slots being longer than the tabs, inserting the tabs into the slots to form positive connections of the support strip to the siding panel, and cutting the panel and support strip transversely at longitudinally spaced intervals to form a series of elongated siding panels and connected corresponding support strips with the connections providing for limited longitudinal movement of each siding panel relative to its corresponding support strip.
