How many cedar shakes are in a square?

A "square" of shakes covers 100 SF of wall or roof area. Beyond that - everything depends on the installation. The number of actual pieces of wood in a square varies greatly based on the exposure the installer wants to leave, and the width of the shakes, which are normally bundled random in width. A single handsplit shake is going to be 18" in length and be installed with an exposure anywhere from 4"-7" . It could be anywhere from 3-12" in width. It typically takes 4-6 bundles of shakes to get 100SF of exposure, but again that varies wildly based on the product and how it is installed. Note that cedar "Shakes" are typically hand-split and will vary greatly- whereas cedar "shingles" are machine cut and can be ordered in uniform width if desired.
