Default cedar shake baby tins (step flashing)?

For those of you who do cedar do you use the 8x8 baby tins on cedar shake and double them up or do you use the 9x14" baby tins?

We typically double up the 8x8 on cedar shake. I suppose you could also use the 5x7 and double those up too.

What do you use?

Depending on the exposure... we like to have at least 3" of overlap so we brake up 4X14" step flashing for cedar roofs on a 10" exposure.

I really should have qualified my statements. This'd be for 10" exposure mediums.

We make our own for anything other than standard (or metric) shingles.
Such as Grand Manor, Eco-star, Cedar Shakes.

Would 3 1/2 X 14s work?

I like to have a little more than i would normally use on a shingle roof. Not just length wise but width too. I overkill it sometimes, but that is better than under killing it.

8 x 12", minimum 2" overlap, 1 piece per course.......8 x 12", 26 gauge, baked enamel finish is the standard here, although 8 x 8" are also readily available.
