Roofing particle board thickness.
My builder used particle board siding when the plans called for plywood.
Oriented strand board osb osb is an engineered wood product that s made with flakes or large chips of wood.
Anything thinner would not be stable enough to use.
This product is smooth stiff and dimensionally stable.

Plywood vs particle board.
If your going over the exsisting spaced deck boards than 7 16 or 1 2 osb is fine.
Use as underlayment for resilient flooring to provide a suitable and durable installation surface for finished flooring products.
Both materials come in the standard 48 by 96 inch sheets but typically waferboard is restricted to 5 8 and 3 4 inch in thickness.
Is this going to be a problem in the future.
1 2 to 1 inch thick precut shelving boards come in various sizes.
Particleboard is knot free hard and has great impact resistance.
Particle board comes in 4 foot by 8 foot panels.
Consider this 5 8 in.
Thicknesses range from 5 16 to 3 4 inch and the proper one to use depends on the spacing of the rafters.
The panels are formed from layers glued together with their strands at 90 degree angles to one another.
Thickness will range from 3 8 to 3 4 inch depending upon local code.
Plywood particle board or wafer board roof sheathing is most commonly used being low in cost and easy to apply.
Half inch osb is suitable for rafter spacings up to 24 inches whether or not the edges are.
If you want to pay more plywood cost double or more than osb than go with 1 2in plywood.
