Has anyone used the Zip panel sheathing system yet. My lumber guy thinks it’s the cat’s meow. I’m thinking of using it on a new roof .

Reason's being: i'm constructing this house solo
And ( I think ) the zip system roof & wall material are made up w/ the same type resins/glue as Huber's advantech T&G flooring,
Making it highly water resistant...which is very important when it is going to be exposed to the elements for prolonged periods of time
On top of that it has the outer skin 'moisture barrier" in place so as you do not necessarily have to apply house wrap or roofing felt...... ie. the zip tape was very easy to apply compared to traditional felt or wrap.
I left some scrap pieces laying around the yard and unlike osb i cannot see any deterioration after being wet many times
