Medium 24-inch shakes are a good choice when budget and roof weight need to be balanced against a true shake look. Verify the grade stamp on each bundle and keep exposure within the range allowed for medium grade. Pair with cedar-compatible underlayment and metal flashings.
Use fall protection and stable staging when installing shakes on roof slopes.
