Question

I'm attempting to roof a small shed in the backyard with wooden shingles. Is the procedure for this any different than laying asphalt shingles? Furthermore, are wooden shingles even a good idea? There are no insulation concerns, being an outdoor storage shed.

Yes, the procedures are different. As to whether wood is a good idea or not, this is a personal, aesthetical decision. If a good material is chosen and installed properly, either can perform adequately.

Go to the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau's website at www.cedarbureau.org. Select "Roof Installation Specifications" for procedures for both cedar shingles or shakes.
