INTRODUCTION

Material for this manual has been compiled from various authoritative sources, and many of the construction methods shown herein have been developed by the shingle and shake specialists in both the United States and Canada. The design and application details and methods of construction reflect current good building practice and meet the requirements of the nationally recognized model building codes and regional building codes used throughout the U.S. and Canada. However, building codes and regulations change occasionally, therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if we were notified of these changes prior to our next publication.
