Permanently Fasten Plywood Sheathing

What happens here

With the plywood panel now perfectly positioned and held in place by the temporary nails, retrieve your nail gun. Drive fasteners through the plywood into all underlying studs, blocking, and plates. Ensure that the nails are spaced correctly according to local building codes (e.g., typically 6 inches on center along edges and 12 inches on center in the field for shear walls). This permanent fastening provides the wall with critical rigidity and shear strength. The temporary nails can either be driven fully flush with the surface or carefully removed once sufficient permanent fasteners are in place to hold the panel securely.

Goal: After the plywood is properly aligned on the temporary hooks, use the nail gun to fully secure it to the underlying structural framing according to building codes.
