Record 2 2012-01-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Roofs (Building Elements)

CONT

Cedar shakes are the ideal roofing material for many areas of the Western United States. A wood roof keeps your house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. A Meeker shake roof can endure 130 mph winds. In the winter, a Meeker cedar roof will effectively shed snow and ice. Cedar shakes are resistive to thermal shock associated with freeze-thaw conditions. Where fire is a hazard, Meeker cedar shakes optionally treated with FTX are fire retardant for life.

I am 90% complete with an 8’x8’ outdoor sauna. It's really a garden shed with an old wood burner in it. It's cedar-lined with very little insulation.
