Sheath the Roof Deck

What happens here

Workers are seen installing large sheets of plywood or OSB onto the framed rafters, creating the roof deck. This process moves quickly, implying the use of power tools like a pneumatic nail gun. The panels are carefully aligned and fastened to provide a strong, continuous surface. One worker is shown applying the sheathing and then moving to the next section. The goal is to cover the entire rafter system, preparing the roof for underlayment and shingles.

Goal: Once the rafters are fully installed, plywood or OSB panels are attached to create the solid roof deck, providing the base for roofing materials. This step often involves a nail gun for speed and efficiency.
