Order starter based on your total eave plus rake length if rakes require it, and keep bundles dry and flat until use. Confirm wind-rating requirements for your area when selecting the starter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eShingle roof work carries fall hazards; use appropriate fall protection and ladder safety, and follow local building codes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder IKO Armour Starter Shingles to start your shingle roof right.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IKO","offers":[{"title":"Chalet Wood","offer_id":53396032586095,"sku":"04IKASCW","price":150.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shadow Black","offer_id":53396032749935,"sku":"04IKASSK","price":150.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weathered Stone","offer_id":53396032782703,"sku":"04IKASWS","price":150.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/3499\/7051\/files\/Asphalt-Hip-Ridge-SKU_2255251-primary.jpg?v=1789846332","url":"https:\/\/superarbor.io\/products\/iko-armour-starter-shingles","provider":"Super Arbor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
