Step 14 Install Roof Sheathing
Install roof sheathing on the steep side of the roof. Use a straight edge to align the top of the
sheathing with the top of the truss. See Detail 'B'. Make sure the trusses are plumb and the roof
sheathing meets the center of the truss. Use 7d sinkers spaced 12" apart.
Install first sheet flush with back gable trim. Work back to front. The top roof sheathing will not
extend to the ridge. This will allow an opening for air ventilation when you install a ridge vent.
