How can I determine where it's safe to put eye bolts for a shade

This is the front of our newly purchased house. I don't really know what's behind that white molding. Obviously there's something where the nails are at the joints where the panels overlay, but unfortunately that's not where I would need to put eye bolts for a 12' shade. I'm super hesitant to just drill into it. Not really sure how to proceed. When I put up one of these in the past there was a big fascia board I could put the eye bolts in.... submitted by /u/hrdCory [link] [comments]
