cedar shingles

Wooden roof covering

Cedar shingles are thin, tapered pieces of cedar wood used as roofing or siding material.

The wood's natural oils make it resistant to rot and insects, and it weathers to a silvery gray over time.

Cedar shingles overlap in rows to shed water: The old Cape Cod cottage had weathered cedar shingles.
