Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A 1-1/4 in. nail is the common choice for standard asphalt shingles over plywood or OSB decking, long enough to penetrate the deck per manufacturer requirements. Follow the shingle manufacturer's fastening schedule for quantity per shingle. In high-wind or coastal regions, consider hot-dip galvanized or ring-shank nails where code requires.
Roofing nails are sharp; store boxes securely and wear gloves and eye protection when nailing.
