ABSTRACT:
Ridge vents and methods of their use are provided. The preferred ridge vent includes an elongated flexible member having a central panel portion, a pair of lateral edges and a pair of transverse ends. A pair of vent openings are disposed proximate to said lateral edges. The central panel portion includes a plurality of support ribs for supporting the central panel portion above the roof. A pair of baffles is disposed laterally from the vent openings and the lateral edges. Each of the baffles is oriented in a first direction relative to the central panel portion for at least a period of time prior to installation and is oriented in a second direction relative to the central panel portion after the installation.
