Default wall hanging outside in the wind

?

SWMBO got a painted piece of slate with our last name, etc. that
measures about 12"x12" and has a leather picture-hanging cord. Need
to mount it outside on our stone facade next to the front door.
Problem is that it is very windy where we live, with gusts to 30mph+
very common. I need some way of securing it to the facade other than
just the leather strap hanging from a nail or it is going to rattle to
the point of driving us crazy. Any takers?


Put a hook in the wall and hang it from the strap for appearance. Then put
a dab of polyurethane construction adhesive on the bottom two corners on the
back to keep it from blowing around. I used that stuff to build a block
wall and you won't budge it.
