This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Natural Building.

Wood shake or shingle roofs are among the most beautiful and long lasting natural roofing material.



To get certified for this BB, do and post the following pics:  

-Lay minimum of 25 (5X5) square feet of wood shake (or shingle) roofing
-Photograph roof, framed with purlins attached and ready to lay shakes
-Action shot
-Finished portion of roof
-Show drip edge  detail

Would a roof like this be considered a shingle roof or an acceptable alternative? This example is certainly too small for the 25 square foot requirement, and it lacks the "kick up" at the drip edge that is mentioned in the video, but I wondered about the general method of layered 3/8 inch boards. Thanks for considering this!

Nope, sorry, that's not a shingle or shake.  Not sure what you'd call it....

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, Mike! I don't know a name for it, either.
 
Could you hold this puppy for a sec? I need to adjust this tiny ad:
