"What is skip-sheathing?

When you think of a modern plywood roof deck, you’re not imagining gaps between the sheets of plywood. The entire roof deck is relatively uniform, where you can step on any part of it without slipping through spaces.

Skip-sheeting, or spaced sheathing, is just as it sounds: sheathing with gaps between. Traditionally, skip-sheathing consists of 1 inch by 4 inch boards nailed to the rafters with gaps between the boards. Spacing between boards is optimal for wood shakes but cannot support asphalt composite shingles."
