You should check with both your insance co and the local building department first. Cedar shakes are banned outright in many places for roofs (I don't know about siding), Many insurance companies won't insure if shakes are used. Harry K |

You dont install them over solid decking so they they can dry evenly when they get wet to prevent warping. I also know you can by panels of shakes and you just nail up the whole panel |

Cedar Shakes over T1-11 Siding
For siding my house has had Cedar shakes on over siding for 40 years,
they are fine. Maybe for a roof you dont install them over decking but maybe its just a cost issue. If you didnt put them over wood new cedar homes would have no wall insulation value |

They dont warp either and dry fine over wood sheeting as previous
poster misleadingly stated. |
