Open-protected ridge systems are one of the best ways to allow ventilation to flow into and out of your structure through the ridge line.
Not only are they an extremely effective way to provide more ventilation into and out of your structure, but from an installation point of view, they are also very easy to do! An open-protected ridge system consists of two open-protected ridge upstands, a weather board, and galvanised brackets (aka metal straps).
The ridge upstands should be fixed into the structures support purlins; with the metal straps being fixed at least 50mm from the top of the ridge upstand and fixed in-place at 750mm (max) intervals. The metal straps should incline by 5° minimum with the weatherboard fixed ontop to form a protective cover.
All parts of the open-protected ridge system is available to purchase directly on our website and can be delivered nationwide within 1-5 working days.
Open-protected Ridge Upstands do not come in pairs. You must purchase one ridge upstand per slope.
