Sauna Companies Hate Me For Building This

What happens here

With the walls erected, the roof framing is installed. This typically involves attaching rafters to the top plates of the walls, creating the sloped or flat structure for the roof. Plywood or OSB sheathing is then cut to size and securely fastened to the roof rafters, creating a solid deck for the roofing materials. The video shows the builder working on the roof structure and attaching the sheathing.

Goal: Create the structural roof and cover it with sheathing
