Question Siding mounting blocks

Have vinyl siding installed, and in the back of the house there are two pipes (PVC 2 inches) coming out from the furnace thru the siding. An opening was cut on the vinyl siding, and it was not only cut irregularly shaped, but too large. The opening was then filled with caulking, but, it does not look good, and it has shrunk.

Would like to find some sort of mounting block to get these pipes to look more presentable. Are there any hexagonal (6 sides) or circular mounting blocks that could be used for this?

Any ideas are also appreciated.

Thanks!

no but you could get a rectangular one big enough to catch both pipes, or get two square ones.

Thanks for the replies.

Looked into the suggestions, but still have not found something that would fit.

Will keep looking...

you havent given us a size for one thing. measurements would help. Home depot has large mounting blocks that are about 7 7/8 x 12 5/8. is that big enough to catch both pipes?

The pipes are 2" PVC, and they are about 15 inches apart.

Have looked at Lowe's and Home Depot, and the mounting blocks would not hold both pipes.

Two rectangular ones would fit, but prefer square ones, for the sake of symmetry.

Then get two square ones. Symmetrical ones aren't hard to find. Square or octogon.

vinyl j block

vinyl mounting block

amazon, ebay, google, or any siding supplier.

eBay has square ones for 8.99 plus 3.99 shipping, and you can combine shipping for 2 or more.

I know this is not made for your exact application, but would something like this work? Dually Grommet - FastCap - Woodworking Tools

Excellent idea!

Would never have thought of a grommet.
