Hi, I would like to know if I could use a 7/16" thick OSB wafer board for the roof. If not, what do you recommend? Thank you |

It depends on your area, snmow loads, spacing of rafter layout, pitch of roof, etc. 7/16" is barely minimum in some places and will often sag between trusses at 24"OC or telegraph seams through the shingles. I like 5/8" plywood still. |
