Cut the shingles into three individual tabs. Center a tab over the peak and put one nail on each side above the tar strip. Lay the next one over it as you would a shingle and continue to the end. On the last one, you will have to surface nail the shingle.
one more tab, just for looks. 4 tabs have smaller tabs, and are the same length but require one more nail per shingle. the ones i have used have an wider angled rain channel.
A 3 tab shingle used to be rated at 15 years. Depending on your region you will may or may not get 15 years. For instance Texas residents will be doing good to get 80% of advertised ratings. <a href ="www.lavezzoconstruction.com">Lavezzo Construction</a>
