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.
