Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Western Red Cedar battens are the traditional choice under clay and concrete tile where a nailable substrate is needed. Keep battens properly fastened to the deck or rafters per the tile manufacturer's instructions and local code, and allow for drainage and ventilation detail at eaves and ridges. Order extra bundles to cover cut-up waste at valleys, hips and rakes.
Use fall protection and ladder safety practices when working on roofs, and follow the tile manufacturer's installation instructions and local building code.
