Building a SHED ROOF over a DECK - Part 2!!

What happens here

Once all rafters are in place and secured, begin installing the plywood sheathing. Carefully lift and position the plywood sheets onto the rafters, ensuring they align properly and stagger seams. Fasten the plywood securely to each rafter using a nail gun and appropriate roofing nails. Pay attention to nailing patterns and spacing as specified by local building codes to ensure a strong and stable roof deck.

Goal: Lay and secure plywood sheets over the installed rafters to create the solid roof deck, fastening them with nails.
