Build a Tool Shed Series: Build the Roof (Part 2)
In the second part of our episode on framing the shed roof, you'll see the framing come together as Rick and Mac install the site-built roof trusses and sheathing
After building the trusses in the previous episode, the trusses are installed on the roof as well as the sheathing. It is a fairly straightforward task that is of the utmost importance. Incorrectly installed trusses or a poor sheathing job can lead to a roof collapsing and damaging everything inside. Following Rick and Mac’s instructions can help avoid ever having to deal with roof failure, and will allow you to enjoy your shed safely for decades.
