Most wood shingle roofs are made from western red cedar for its durability and resistance to insect damage; some are made from preservative-treated pine or similar species.
Wood shingles are smooth; more rustic, rough-hewn shingles are called shakes. Shingles and shakes come in varying lengths, usually 16, 18, or 24 inches and in random widths.
Here you'll find information on buying and installing wood shingle roofing, and illustrated step-by-step instructions for doing your own wood shingle repairs.
