| Earlier, we had cut a long narrow hole in the
roof sheathing. |

 |
The brand of ridge vent used on this project.
There are many ridge venting products available. |
| The adjacent pieces have a tongue-and-groove
method of connecting. |
 |
 |
Once aligned, the second piece was pushed firmly
in place. |
| The ridge vent was held in place with 3 inch
galvanized roofing nails. |

 |
The completed ridge vent.
The only difficult task here was keeping the fold in the
plastic ridge aligned with the peak in the roof. It is
possible to have the ridge vent wander towards one side of the
roof as installation progresses. |
| The ridge vent after the cap shingles have been
applied.
These shingles can be plain 3-tab shingles cut into thirds,
or special pre-cut ridge shingles.
