<p>This can be a tricky installation as the shingle has a bevel that
asphalt does not. Quickmount just uses a larger flashing piece to

<div dir="auto">Hi all,
<div dir="auto">Does anyone have any experience mounting on a
roof with cedar shakes. I'm most interested in figuring out
how you can avoid breaking half the roof apart and still get
trail and panels mounted and wired.<br>
Thanks for any ideas,</div>
