Question

Sheathing is typically made of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) and serves as a solid and stable base for the roof covering. It also provides rigidity to the roof frame by distributing loads evenly across the rafters and help prevent roof sagging. Bracing and reinforcing can also help add rigidity to the roof frame, but they do not provide a nailing surface for the roof covering. Buttressing is a structural support system used to reinforce walls and foundations, but not typically used in roof framing.
