SELECTING SHAKE
& SHINGLE NAILS
How many nails will I need
to install my roofing?
Shakes and shingles are usually attached to a roof with
two fasteners, either two nails or two staples. To find the
quantity you need, multiply the number of shakes or
shingles you expect to apply by 2, and add a few extra
fasteners to account for loss or errors during installation.
For shakes and shingles. Not recommended for synthetic slate roofing products.
