General guidelines for nailing shingles. Step 3 lay the next asphalt shingle next to the first one. Remove any shingle with exposed nails and replace it with a new shingle. Nail length roofing nails should be long enough to penetrate the roofing material and go 19 mm into osb solid wood plywood or non veneer wood decking or through thickness of decking whichever is less.

In all use four nails per 3 tab shingle. Lay the first asphalt shingle at an outer corner of the lowest sloping face of the gambrel roof. Step 2 complete first row. Align the first shingle squarely with the roof and lay it into place.

Then use a nail gun to secure the shingle to the decking. This will hold the shingle securely into place. When nailing shingles proper penetration into the roof deck is essential to ensure the nail and shingle remain secure. Covering the exposed nail with any type of roof cement or caulk is not a permanent repair and will be excluded from coverage under gaf s limited warranties.

For all owens corning shingles roofing nails should penetrate into the wood deck by a minimum of inch or completely through the roof deck by a minimum of 1 8 inch. To secure the shingle and all remaining shingles you need to use the nail gun to insert three evenly spaced nails through the uppermost portion of the shingle. Place nails in the three tab shingles about 3 4 inch 1 8 centimeters above the cutouts near where the tab meets the upper part of the shingle. However make sure that you do not nail into the tar strip.

Also place a nail 2 inches from each end of the shingle in line with the other two.
