Step 15 Install Roof Sheathing
Important: Make sure the gable is
plumb and the roof sheathing extends
6-1/2" past the 2x3s along the face
of the gable; see Detail 'G'
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 6" apart.
The top roof sheathing will not extend to the ridge. This will allow an opening for air ventilation
when you install a ridge vent.
Step 16 Install Gable Overhang
47" Long 2x3
1.
While a helper holds the 47" long 2x3s against the front edge of the roof sheathing.
Screw the sheathing to the 2x3s with 1-1/2" long screws.
2.
Install the 42-1/4" 2x3s on the side roof sheathing in the same manner.
