The skeleton of a roof is formed with rafters or trusses generally spaced 16 inches or 24 inches apart from the center of one rafter to the center of the next.

The superior engineering of these panels protects against buckling cupping warping and sagging. To stabilize the rafters support the roofing material and hold the entire roof together roof sheathing is installed. Wood sheathing materials include plywood oriented strand board osb and waferboard.
