Application Recommendations Nails:
Use only two rust resistant nails on each
shingle, regardless of its width. Nails should
be located about one half inch from each edge
of the shingle and about one inch above the
butt line of the lapping shingle.
Exposure:
On walls, exposure may vary from 5 inches
to 6 1/2 inches. on roof: standard exposure
is 5 inches for a slope of 4/12 (18")
or greater. For a smaller slope, to a minimum
of 3/12 (14"), reduced exposure is
recommended (5" to 3 3/4")
Spacing:
Spacing between shingles should be 1 1/16"
to 1/8" depending on the moisture content
of the shingles. Joints (that are spacing
between shingles) in three successive courses
should not be in alignment.

Calculating Coverage In order to calculate
the amount of shingles required to achieve
your project, the exposure (part of the
shingles left exposed) is the first number
to be determined.
Coverage:
4 bundles = 1 square, based on 5" exposure

Why Cedar? For hundreds of years,
cedar shingles and wall covering have proven
both their reliability and efficiency. This
comes as no surprise, as there are many benefits
in choosing cedar rather then other traditional
forms of roofing and interior/exterior wall
covering. The following list outlines the
major advantages of each application.
