Abstract
Ridge vents, methods of their manufacture, and methods of their use are provided. The preferred ridge vent includes an elongated flexible member having a central panel portion comprising support means for supporting the central panel above a roof, a pair of side portions containing a vent opening and a baffle. The baffle is adjustable from a relatively flat position to a relatively vertical position with respect to the roof. Having an adjustable baffle permits the ridge vent to be rolled more easily, and assists in lower cost molding of the vent.
