Figure 3: sloped cathedralized Vented compact Roof. The roof cladding is still ventilated. Keep your structure to the inside of the air control and vapor control layers. The intermediate cladding is a layer of plywood, which is vapor semipermeable and it is covered with a vapor permeable roofing membrane (aka “tar paper”) or one of those new fancy-dancy liquid-applied vapor open membranes (don’t forget to seal the joints in the plywood for more air control redundancy).
