Apparatus and methods for installing a penetration in a sheathing assembly and building structures. An opening can be formed at least partially through a sheathing assembly that includes a body; a barrier layer; and an adhesive disposed between at least a portion of the body and the barrier layer. At least a portion of the barrier layer adjacent the opening can be peeled back to expose at least a portion of the body. A penetration can be disposed at least partially within the opening. The penetration can include a contact member that at least partially contacts the exposed body, the barrier layer, or both. The penetration can be secured to at least a portion of the sheathing assembly, and the peeled back portion of the barrier layer can be repositioned such that the barrier layer covers at least a portion of the contact member.

1. A method for installing a penetration in a sheathing assembly, comprising: forming an opening at least partially through a sheathing assembly, the sheathing assembly comprising: a body, wherein the body comprises wood, engineered wood, or a combination thereof;a barrier layer; andan adhesive disposed between at least a portion of the body and the barrier layer, wherein the adhesive has a bond strength that permits the barrier layer to be peeled from the body;peeling at least a portion of the barrier layer from the body, adjacent the opening to expose at least a portion of the body;disposing a penetration at least partially within the opening, wherein the penetration at least partially contacts the exposed portion of the body;securing the penetration to at least a portion of the sheathing assembly; andrepositioning the peeled portion of the barrier layer such that the barrier layer covers at least a portion of the penetration. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the opening is formed completely through the sheathing assembly. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the body comprises oriented strand board. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the barrier layer comprises a cross-woven polyolefin wrap that provides a water and air resistant barrier. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the penetration includes a window frame, door frame, chimney, cable, wire, pipe, duct, exhaust fan, exhaust vent, mail box, mail box slot, central air conditioning line, central air conditioning tubing, electrical box, electrical outlet, light fixture, speaker fixture, skylight, or any combination thereof. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein peeling the barrier layer includes scoring the barrier layer in two or more locations to provide a section of the barrier layer that is to be peeled. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising disposing flashing along at least a portion of the penetration and the barrier layer, such that the flashing covers at least a portion of the penetration and the barrier layer. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising disposing the sheathing assembly on a frame structure, wherein the body faces the frame structure. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: disposing flashing along at least a portion of the opening, such that the flashing covers at least a portion of a frame structure and the barrier layer;disposing flashing along at least a portion of the penetration and the barrier layer, such that the flashing covers at least a portion of the penetration and the barrier layer;disposing flashing along at least a portion of the penetration and the exposed body, such that the flashing covers at least a portion of the penetration and the exposed body; orany combination thereof. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the sheathing assembly is oriented such that the barrier layer faces toward the exterior of the frame structure. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the penetration is at least partially disposed within the opening before the portion of the barrier layer is peeled. 12. A method for installing a penetration in a sheathing assembly, comprising: disposing one or more sheathing assemblies on an exterior side of a frame to provide a supported sheathing assembly, wherein the one or more sheathing assemblies comprise: a body, wherein the body comprises wood, engineered wood, or a combination thereof;a barrier layer; andan adhesive disposed between at least a portion of the body and the barrier layer, wherein the adhesive permits separation of the barrier layer from the body;forming an opening at least partially through the supported sheathing assembly;peeling back a portion of the barrier layer from the body, adjacent the opening to expose a portion of the body;disposing flashing along a portion of the opening, such that the flashing contacts the barrier layer and the frame;disposing a penetration at least partially within the opening, wherein the penetration includes a contact member that at least partially contacts the exposed portion of the body;securing the penetration to the supported sheathing assembly; andrepositioning the peeled back portion of the barrier layer, such that the peeled back portion of the barrier layer overlaps at least a portion of the contact member. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising scoring the barrier layer at one or more locations prior to peeling back the portion of the barrier layer. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising disposing one or more pieces of tape along the one or more scored locations. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising disposing one or more pieces of flashing about the penetration and the supported sheathing assembly, such that at least a portion of the flashing covers at least a portion of the contact member, the exposed body, or both. 16. The method of claim 12, further comprising disposing one or more pieces of flashing about the penetration and the supported sheathing assembly, such that at least a portion of the flashing covers at least a portion of the contact member, the barrier layer, or both. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein the penetration is at least partially disposed within the opening before the portion of the barrier layer is peeled back. 18. A building structure, comprising: a framed structure;one or more sheathing assemblies disposed on an exterior side of the framed structure, wherein the one or more sheathing assemblies comprise: a body;a barrier layer; andan adhesive disposed between at least a portion of the body and the barrier layer, wherein the adhesive permits separation of the barrier layer from the body; anda penetration at least partially disposed within an opening disposed through the sheathing assembly, wherein the penetration includes a contact member, and wherein at least a portion of the contact member is disposed between the body and the barrier layer. 19. The building structure of claim 18, wherein at least a portion of the contact member is disposed on a side of the barrier layer opposite the adhesive. 20. The building structure of claim 18, wherein the contact member is integral with at least a portion of the penetration. 21. The building structure of claim 18, further comprising at least one of one or more pieces of flashing disposed along at least a portion of the opening, such that the flashing covers at least a portion of the frame and the barrier layer; one or more pieces of flashing disposed along at least a portion of the contact member and the barrier, such that the flashing covers at least a portion of the contact member and the barrier layer; and one or more pieces of flashing disposed along at least a portion of the contact member and between the body and the barrier layer, such that the flashing covers at least a portion of the contact member and the body beneath the barrier layer. 22. The method of claim 1, wherein peeling at least a portion of the barrier layer requires a peel strength ranging from about 0.0009 kgf/cm to about 0.45 kgf/cm in accordance with ASTM D6862.
