Wall OSB Sheathing and Tyvek House Wrap [Build a Workshop]

Placing OSB on the exterior walls of your shop can greatly increase the strength of the building and helps to give a surface to attach the wall siding. I am using 1/2" OSB on my walls. Each stud behind the OSB is getting screws to make sure that the building is strong. After all the sheathing has been installed I install Tyvek Home Wrap. This is a material that repels water droplets while allowing vapor to escape. Tyvek tape is used on seams and gaps to adhere the sections of tyvek together. Nails are acceptable to install the OSB but I like to use screws.
