Long side of plywood horizontally. I use locking clips between all rafters (this stops bowing and gives strength) and stagger all seems, and I cover all seams with a 4in wide weather barrier self sticking tape.Gable and eve sides and around breather vents and chimney and valleys get a ice/water shield barrier (36inch) in snow country and 24inch in warm. Something like a roof you do the best job once and no worries for 20-30 yrs.

Inspect the wood when you get your order to make sure it is adequate. Follow the design specifications from the blueprints and complete the framework. Next, you need to sheet the roof. Make sure you start to sheet the roof from the bottom and make your way up. Use the nails and nail the plywood to the frame of the roof. Lay out once side at a time, and cut the plywood to fit on the edges.. Now, apply the felt paper on the roof, To do so, get the tar paper and have it ready to go. Roll the tar paper across the plywood of the roof until you make sure it is completely covered in the tar paper. Finally, you need to apply the shingles. Shingles are mainly used to protect the roof from rain water. First, drag the bundles of shingles to the roof. Use the nail gun and start from the lowest corner. Next, start nailing it the shingle 1 on each sides. Work you way until one side is finished. Go to the beginning and add next layer. When you have finished with all sides of the roof, you can use single shingles to shingle the corners of the roof. Again, start from the bottom and work up. Hope this helps.
