Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Cedar shingles weather to a silver-gray over time and can be left natural or stained. Install with proper exposure for the shingle length and use corrosion-resistant fasteners, ideally stainless or hot-dipped galvanized, since cedar can be corrosive to standard fasteners. Fivex is an economy grade, best for less visible areas or utility structures rather than premium roof fields.
Wood shingles are combustible; check local fire codes and any required treatments before installing in wildfire-prone areas.
