Have to replace old worn cover (what we used to call "tar paper".




Any difference between individual shingles and sheet, in terms of


wear?




I assume ease of replacement better with indiv. shingles, but cost of


installation higher?




Your wisdom appreciated.




Any chance that you could upload a photo (through http://tinypic.com or

another similar site)?



I think that would make it a lot easier for people to see what you need and

what would work best.


OK, here is pic to show angle of "eyebrow" roof on back porch.

Hope this will help recommend shingles vs ??

Also: must shingles be underlaid with ? specific name of product?

Much TIA
