The 1x4 is OK becuase it is resting on the shingles. Barn Shed; I've used 2x4 TREATED #1 KD-19-HT SPIB pine, on 2' spacing going up the rake, becuase t will get some condensation ovewr the years, and I dont' want it to rot away. The wood is hard enough the screws hold well. I'm glad I did this. Sorry for any confusion, I assumed the sort of wood we use around here is like taht all over; my mistake.
