Photo 1 shows a wall sheathed with oriented strand board (OSB).

The IRC identifies two categories of homes for purposes of determining wall-bracing requirements: partially sheathed and fully sheathed.

The APA Narrow Wall Bracing Method (www.apa wood.org/bracing) permits builders to use narrower corner bracing than is normally allowed next to openings, such as garage doors, provided the house is fully sheathed with structural wood panels.

For one thing, the tubeworms known from deep-sea vents live in hard outer casings, yet the new creatures are sheathed in soft mucus.

The lift system is totally sheathed and finished in either painted steel or stainless steel.

With a vented cladding (that comes by virtue of the air gap), walls sheathed with OSB do not need a Class II interior vapor retarder under the provisions of the 2012 IRC.

The VersaMix Model VMC features an air/oil lift system that is totally sheathed and finished in either painted steel or stainless steel for use in sanitary environments.

Established engineered design of exterior shear walls containing window and door openings involves the use of multiple, fully sheathed shear wall segments typically restrained against overturning forces at both ends.

The board sheathing evolved into plywood, and we got the modern residential wall: a wood structural frame sheathed with plywood sheets, wrapped with building paper covered with a cladding.
