Wall / Roof Sheathing Panel and Nail Takeoff
Sheathing panels and nails for a wall or roof: sheets = ceil(area x (1 + waste) / sheet area); nails = sheets x nails-per-sheet. A 1,600 sf wall at 8% waste is 54 sheets, and at a 6-in edge / 12-in field pattern (~60 nails a sheet) that is 3,240 nails; a tight shear-panel schedule (~104 nails) roughly doubles it to 5,616 on the same 54 sheets. The nailing schedule, not the area, drives the fastener order. Distinct from the plywood-span rating.
Formula and source
sheets = ceil(area_sf x (1 + waste_pct/100) / sheet_sf); nails = sheets x nails_per_sheet.
Sheathing panel / nail takeoff identity by name (sheets from area over panel area; nails from the schedule); first-principles count arithmetic.
