Title: What is the best roof decking OSB or Plywood
Post by: rdzone on June 05, 2007, 02:10:41 PM
Getting ready to order my roof decking I have two options 5/8" plywood verse 3/4" T&G OSB here they are priced about the same.  I was thinking why not go with the thicker material and aviod the use of the H clips.  I will be using trusses 24" on center.  Any input would be appreciated!

I'd take good quality CDX plywood any day.

...but much more pleasing -- not much racking resistance though.

Thanks for the input!  I ordered my next floor worth of materials they will be delivered next week.  In this order I also ordered the roof decking.  I went with the 5/8" plywood per the suggestions.  I have my trusses being designed by a local truss manufacture, hopefully I will be ready for them the week of the 4th of July.  Now if I could just find some spare time to post some pictures in the owner builder section.
