What is decking?

Explanation:
Decking is the structural surface built on top of the roof framing that ties the rafters or trusses together, adding rigidity to the roof and preventing lateral movement (rafter spread). It also provides a flat, continuous platform for attaching the roofing materials and underlayment. It’s not a decorative finish, not a waterproof coating, and its primary role is the base that gives the roof its strength and a proper surface to fasten the roof coverings.
