Step 14 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 6d common spaced 8" 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.
