Leave a slight gap as if the sheathing was cut a little short and install the sheathing to a matching edge no gap.
Roof sheathing peak.
Snap a chalk line along the overhanging sheets along each side of the roof aligned with the edge of the last rafter and trim off the excess sheathing with a circular saw.
Preparing the peak capping a roof is the last thing done during a roofing project.
Step 4 cut overhang.
For safety temporarily nail a 2 x 4 toe board horizontally across the lower panel of sheathing to brace yourself against as you add the second and subsequent courses of sheathing.
This is a simple pitched roof line with ridge beam and rafters attached with slope hangers.
Then align a chalk line.
Start the sheathing at the eaves and work your way up to 1 inch from the peak.
Install sheathing perpendicular to roof trusses one slope at a time.
I have seen two thoughts.
Nails size 8b should be installed every 6 inches on edges and every 12 inches in the center area.
How should the sheathing meet at the roof peak when there will be no ridge vent.
