Roof ridge vent having a reinforced nail line

摘要

A roll-form roof ridge vent having a plurality of hollow cusps and a reinforced nail line. The cusps space the upper surface of the vent from the underlying roof to provide a path of ventilation therebetween. The reinforced nail line permits the use of standard pneumatic roofing nail guns to apply nails to the vent and overlying cap shingles. The reinforced vent resists compression and prevents nail heads of nails driven into hollow cusps of the vent from sinking past the upper surface of the vent. The nail line reinforcement material can be a fabric, elastomeric or other type of material.
