The illustration shows overlapping courses of cedar shingle siding with recommended fastener locations and staggered joints. Each shingle receives two fasteners, located 3/4 to 1 inch from its edges and 1-1/2 to 2 inches above the butt line of the next course. Side joints have a 1/4- to 3/8-inch gap, and joints in adjacent courses are offset at least 1-1/2 inches; no two joints in any three courses should align directly. A knot in a lower shingle is shown with a minimum 1-1/2-inch offset from the joint between shingles above. Flat-grain shingles are limited to a maximum width of 8 inches.
