Using Neoprene Closures in Vented Ridge - Skyline Panel

This is a variation of the Vented Ridge (R17) installation if the panels are NOT being turned up at the ridge, and a Neoprene Closure is being installed. The closure and the turn up of the panels have essentially the same effect, keeping water and debris from blowing up into the ridge. If you have extreme conditions, such as low slope and high winds, then turning up the panel AND installing the closure might be necessary. For most, it is easier to install the closures then to turn up every panel but there is a slight added cost (unless you need to purchase the turn up tool - then it will come out pretty even). When we sell a materials package for Skyline, we always include the closures unless a customer is confident about turning up each panel.
