Instructions / Assembly
● Secure the OSB sheet to the steel trusses using self-tapping screws. Start at the
corners and edges, placing screws approximately 6 inches from the sheet's
perimeter and 12 to 16 inches apart in the field
● Drive the screws through the OSB and into the steel trusses
5. Apply Seam Tape:
● Cover the seams between OSB sheets with roofing seam tape. This provides an
additional layer of waterproofing and reinforcement
● Press the seam tape firmly onto the OSB surface, ensuring there are no air pockets
or gaps
6. Continue Installing OSB Sheets:
● Continue installing OSB sheets, ensuring proper alignment and staggering the
seams
● Apply sealant and seam tape to all seams and edges of the OSB sheets
7. Inspect and Clean Up:
● Inspect the entire roof to make sure all seams are properly sealed, and there are no
gaps or uneven areas
● Clean up any excess sealant or tape residue
8. Safety Precautions:
● Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves, goggles, and ear
protection
● If working at heights, use fall protection equipment such as harnesses and lifelines
● Follow local safety regulations and guidelines for working on elevated surfaces
Always adhere to local building codes and regulations specific to your area. Follow the
engineering plan recommendations for spacing of screws (Provided)
