Generated explanation

The illustration shows a cutaway perspective of a typical asphalt shingle roof application at the eave, with staggered shingle courses installed over eave protection and roof sheathing. An exposed starter strip has self-sealing strips along its bottom edge, and the drawing identifies minimum 2-inch headlap and nail locations relative to shingle edges and cutouts. Eave protection is labeled as extending at least 36 inches up the roof, and metal drip edge runs along the eave above the fascia board. A cross-section inset shows the relationship of shingles, eave protection, sheathing, a roof rafter, fascia, metal drip edge, and a gutter with a spike.
