Hip
& Ridge Details
Intersecting
roof surfaces at hips and ridges should be capped to ensure a weathertight joint.
Site-made or factory-assembled hip and ridge units may be used, but both types
must have alternate overlaps and concealed nailing (see Fig below). Weather
exposures should be the same as the field of the roof. Nails must be longer
than those used on the field of the roof and of sufficient length to penetrate
1/2" into or completely through the sheathing.
