What happens here
After the roof frame is complete, the next step involves installing large sheets of plywood sheathing to cover the entire roof surface. A worker is shown carefully positioning these plywood sheets over the rafters and then rapidly securing them using a nail gun. This process not only covers the exposed roof frame but also provides a solid, continuous base for subsequent roofing materials and significantly enhances the overall structural rigidity of the roof.
Goal: Cover the roof frame with structural sheathing.
