Finish at Ridges.
Ridges may be finished as shown in Fig. 36.
The roof strips are cut to extend about 2 inches above the ridge on one
side, and ¼ or ½ inch longer on the other side. The standing
scams of the roofing are flattened, as at a, so that they may be folded
into the lock seam of the ridge. Cleats are nailed to the roof boarding
at 12-inch intervals, and a single-lock scam is formed, as at "b".
Another method of finishing a ridge is shown at a in Fig.
37. No cleats are used in this method. The roofing strips
are lapped over each other at the ridge, as shown, and nailed. The seams
of the roofing are flattened in this method, as shown. |
