ABSTRACT:
A universal rake-ridge cap for a gable roof design that includes a first surface, a second surface, and at least one stepped arcuate surface intersecting the first surface and the second surface. The universal rake-ridge cap is employed to conceal any gap at the junction of two rake boards in a gable roof design. The universal rake ridge cap can be cut so that the arcuate surface will tangentially intersect the stepped surfaces of rake members to provide an aesthetically pleasing transition from rake board to universal rake-ridge cap to rake board. The universal rake-ridge cap can quickly be fitted to any gable roof pitch simply by culling the universal rake-ridge cap to the angle or pitch required by the gable roof. No special tools are needed and the final result is both aesthetically pleasing as well as a significant time saver.
