Is there a requirement to stagger panel breaks on roof sheathing or is it just good practice? We don't do a sheathing inspection but the other day I saw the framers sheathing a roof with the plywood edges not staggered. I looked it up and the code section tells you to stagger or not stagger according to the nailing schedule chart which tells you nothing. They also reference an APA standard which I am going to look up on Monday. Thoughts.
