A wall covering comprising a plurality of plastic molded panels each having a relatively thin body portion formed with rows of simulated shake shingles. The panels are mounted on a support surface, such as a wall or roof, in a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal courses with a lower marginal edge region of the panels in one course overlapping and sealingly engaging the upper marginal edge regions of the panels in the course immediately below and with side marginal edge regions of adjacent panels overlapping in sealing engagement. The side marginal edge regions of each panel are formed with a plurality of vertically spaced integrally formed hooks depending from the underside thereof for snap action insertion through respective hook receiving apertures formed in the underlying side marginal edge region of the adjacent panel for maintaining the overlapping marginal edge regions of the panels in engaged relation. The panels each have a rectangular reinforcing and support grid integrally formed on the underside thereof for facilitating handling and mounting.
