Abstract
A roof ridge vent formed from a continuous, indeterminate-length, elongate strip of openwork material that has a pair of longitudinally-extending side edges each covered with a waterproof material. The edge coverings function as wind baffles and promote air circulation through the vent when wind blows over the roof ridge. The ridge vent is rollable lengthwise into a spiral roll for storage and shipment and is unrolled lengthwise during installation on a roof ridge.
