John Dirks Jr Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 How would one go about installing a continuous ridge vent on a modular home? At the ridge there are 2x4's on each half of attic structure that block the normal place you would cut a slot in the sheathing. So, how to accomplish installing a good vent at the ridge on this type of attic structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Air Vent has a shingle-over vent that's almost 12" wide. Commonly used with wide ridge beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks Bill. I understand the outer width of the Air Vent II is 12". Do you know how wide the actual vent opening is on the under side of the product? A double 2x4 of the modular home attic structure would be 3 1/2" wide if they were flush together. I was thinking one could cut a 1" slot in the sheathing on each side of the 2x4's. That would make a vent opening on each side of the ridge. Total span of vent covering opening would therefore need to be at least 5 1/2". I'm just not sure how the Air Vent is designed and if it can function properly over a 5-6" inch spread.
