 Sheathing
Shingles and shakes shall
be applied over spaced sheathing. Spaced sheathing
is usually 1" x 4" of 1" x 6" softwood boards.
Solid sheathing is acceptable and may be required in seismic regions or under
treated shakes and shingles. It is recommended on shake applications in areas
where wind-driven snow is common. Solid sheathing is usually wafer-board panels
or plywood which provides a smooth base for roofing.
