Building shed

[funnybunny]

The floor is framed. The walls are also framed but I have not attached them to the floor and corners walls yet.
Question: Do I have to wait to get the roof trusses and attach them first before I start sheathing? Or can I just do it now.

The reason I ask is I ordered the trusses and was told they would be delivered in 10 days. In the mean time, I would like to get some extra work done like sheathing the walls. Is it ok if I do this out of ordered? What are the problems I may encounter if I just sheath it before the trusses come?

Unless your sheathing will interfere with how you are attaching the roof trusses to the lower framing, sheathing now will not matter much. Examples would be if you are using some sort of metal strapping that will connect between truss framing and the outside of the walls. Generally speaking, the sheathing will strengthen the "box" you are setting the trusses on.

I guess I'll use the ties to connect the trusses to the upper plates on the inside.
Thanks for the feed back.

I've done this a lot in my practice as a builder.  It doesn't really matter, in fact you could install the clips over the plywood on the outside as well, but you'd have to use longer 9g nails not the little short ones to get 1.5" plate penetration.  If the truss tails start at the bottom cord they may interfere with the top edge of the sheathing, so you may want to hold the sheathing down from the top edge 1/2" or as needed so the truss will sit solidly on the top plate.

But for a shed it may be overbuilt anyway.  Depends on what you mean by shed. :)
