What happens here
Once the roof rafters are installed, plywood sheathing is fastened directly to the top of the rafters. This creates a solid, continuous surface that forms the base for the roofing materials. The sheets of plywood are cut to fit and secured with nails or screws, making the roof structure rigid and ready for weatherproofing.
Goal: Create a solid base for the covered patio's roofing materials.
