What is the most appropriate method of attaching wood roofing to the substrate?

Gluing
Using only one fastener
Nailing
Wood roofing does not need attachment

The correct answer is: Nailing

Nailing is the most appropriate method of attaching wood roofing to the substrate because it provides a secure and reliable connection. When installing wood roofing, nails are driven through the material and into the underlying substrate, such as roof decking, to ensure it is firmly attached in place. Using nails distributes the weight of the roofing material evenly and helps prevent it from shifting or coming loose, especially in high winds or other extreme weather conditions. Gluing may not provide enough strength for wood roofing, using only one fastener may not offer sufficient support, and stating that wood roofing does not need attachment is incorrect as proper attachment is crucial for the roof's stability and longevity.
