Can the Gecko Gauge be used to install shingles?

For shigles, we highly recommend using our Shingle Sider, model SA908. However, if you already have the Gecko Gauges and would prefer to use them on the shingles, you will first need a ledger board. Depending on your desired reveal, you may need to adjust with Gecko Gauge length and the cut-height of your ledger board. Then proceed with the following:

  1. Then Attach the Gecko Gauges along your first shingle course.
  2. Insert the ledger board into the gauge slots
  3. Use the Gecko Gauge/ledger board combination as you would for horizontal lap siding to gauge and support shingles for nailing.
