Multiple Choice

Which of the following is not listed as a common decking material?

Explanation:
Decking refers to the structural surface that forms the roof or floor you access during vertical ventilation. OSB and plywood are standard deck materials because they provide a solid, engineered surface for the roof structure. 1x6 sheathing is a traditional decking option still found in some buildings. Metal roofing, while it may cover the roof, is not considered decking—it’s the finish above the deck. During ventilation, you breach or remove the roof covering, but the actual deck material being worked through is OSB, plywood, or 1x6 sheathing.
