A brace for securing roof decking adjacent a roof ridge vent takes the form of an elongated channel, preferably a metal J-shaped channel, with the brace being wrapped around the upper edge portion of the roof decking at the roof ridge. The brace stiffens and carries the weight of the roof decking between the roof trusses or rafters, allowing an unobstructed flow of ventilation air under the decking and preventing bowing of the roof decking. The brace is at least partially covered by a line of shingles and then mounting flange portions of a ridge vent extend over each of the brace, decking edge and shingles. |
