Roof Sheathing Peak

How should the sheathing meet at the roof peak when there will be no ridge vent.

Roof sheathing peak.

Start the sheathing at the eaves and work your way up to 1 inch from the peak. It must be completed at the very end of the shingle run to overlap the uppermost shingles and form a weatherproof. Carefully work your way up to the peak of the roof. Install sheathing perpendicular to roof trusses one slope at a time.

Check for alignment and end support as you go. Then align a chalk line. Nails size 8b should be installed every 6 inches on edges and every 12 inches in the center area. Preparing the peak capping a roof is the last thing done during a roofing project.

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. Step 4 cut overhang. I have seen two thoughts.
