cedar shakes for roofing........For roofs, the steeper the slope, the greater the exposure to weather, the more cedar shingles required to lessen shingle exposure.Also, correct exposure provides triple coverage. Remember, a good wood shingle roof can last from 25 to 30 years, even up to 50 years in some cases.A standard bundle of white cedar shingles covers 25 sq. ft (2.3 m2) if the exposure is 5 in (12.5 cm). Cedar shingles are measured in squares, 1 square = 4 bundles.
In calculating the quantity required for a roof, you need to know the roof type, ratio of roof length to roof width, roof slope, shingle exposure, type of cedar shingle used (more breakage with lower grades), type of hip and ridge units (prefabricated or built on site) and general surface area. calculator--- https://waska.com/en/technical-information/calculator additional info. https://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/roofing/cedar-wood-shakes/
