Do you think they forgot the end caps or they just chewed them off . Nice to see pictures

They were never installed, the house had 4 diferent ridge vents. None of them had any caps, if you look close at the pics you can see the cap sitting in the ridge channel waiting patiently for installation.

Amen to that! nice to see pictures!

330 your traps would fit nicely in that nosecone also.

How do you fix that hole

Excluder fabric from WCS with a good bead of adhesive seems to work.

You could also probably bend some flashing to fit or hardware cloth.

I usually put hardware cloth in then pur foam it shutting off the air current.

WHAAAAT!

You numbnuts are losing money! Replace those things with cobra ridge vent and hardware cloth. I sell everyone I come across.

That's I doit to . Cram it full inject it

I hope you do know that I say numbnuts with all the loving respect I would have for my brothers, right? At least I didn't call you what I call my fesh and blood brothers.

I'll dig up some pics for you to see.

Here's the problem



Yep, the squirrels are entering right here. This style is notorious for nail pops.



Rip that POS off and toss it to the ground.



Nail down a strip of hardware cloth. I know, overkill but I have to warranty this baby.



Roll out the ridge vent and nail down the caps. Viola, professionally done and money in your pocket.

thats how the "Pro's" do it huh?

Screws and some cobra faced and it would be cheaper and as effective////////////

There are a few models that "NEED" to be removed, but that is one that can be repaired if needed on lower budget job///

Vinke, you are correct in that many times a new plug and some screws and adhesive will suffice, especially if a new roof is planned in the very near future. I have developed a distinct dislike though for that style of ridge and urge all of my clients with it on their homes to replace it, either now by me or at the very next reroof.

Or you could just nail it back down and plug the end , not everybody has the coin to replace the whole ridge vent , a lot of people are flat broke . Up my way . If your taking the test that is the right answer .Looks good nice job on it , no roof jacks where used how did you keep from sliding off ?

I'm slowing down but I can still scramble. Actually, there was a flatter cricket roof I was standing on to take the first photo, from there I could access the ridge and straddle it.

Nnooooooo....... you use neoprene roofing screws,,,as I stated in the earlier post,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
5 cents each x 3"-6",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
