What happens here
Large wooden sheathing panels (likely plywood or OSB) are lifted and carefully placed onto the installed roof purlins. Workers secure these panels using nail guns, ensuring a continuous and stable roof deck. This process transforms the open framework into a solid surface that will support the subsequent roofing layers.
Goal: Create a solid roof deck
