4x8 sheets on Framing

Using the dimensions of the framing to compute the area.  Then compute the number of 4x8 sheets required to cover the framing.  Modern construction techniques take advantage of the time saving achieved through using pneumatic nail guns.  Nail guns are used to rapidly nail sheeting to roof trusses and walls saving time and money.

Blocking or Clips

The number of nails that will be needed are determined by the pattern of nails.  There are two different patterns for nails based on whether there is blocking that allows continuous edges or if clips (see picture) are used.  The diagram shows the two patterns.
