Step 17 Install Roof Sheathing
Detail 'B'
Install This Row First
Install roof sheathing per layout below. Install the rear sheathing flush with the trim on the
rear gable. The top roof sheathing will not extend to the ridge. This will allow an opening
for air ventilation when you install a ridge vent. Install the lower sheathing first. Use a straight
edge to alien the top of the sheathing with the top of the truss. See Detail 'B'. Use 7d sinkers.
