To pull a nail from an
ONDURA-6V sheet, use a
claw hammer and a 1-1/2
inch wood dowel or pipe.
This technique minimizes
the chance of damaging the
sheet. Put the dowel or pipe
in the valley next to the crown
where the nail will be pulled.
Then use the dowel or pipe
as a leverage point for pulling
the nail.

ONDURA-6V sheets are easy to maintain. Over a period of
years, weathering will age your ONDURA-6V roof’s coang. So
you’ll want to give your ONDURA-6V roof new life by repainng.
First, sweep dirt and loose debris o your roof. Then either
brush or spray with top quality 100% acrylic latex exterior paint.
CAUTION: Do not steam clean or use pressurized cleaning
equipment on ONDURA-6V roong.
Place the rst ridge cap at the end of the ridge away from the
prevailing wind, allowing it to project out 3 to 4 inches from the
ridge end.
Insert ridge closure strip above ONDURA-6V sheet and below
ridge cap. The closure strips must be placed where the nails will
be located so that the nails will securely hold the closure strips
in place during the life of the roof.
Install nails through the ridge cap and closure strip at every
crown of the underlying ONDURA-6V sheets. The row of nails
should be 1 inch above the lower edge of the ridge cap. If more
than one ridge cap is needed, overlap the next ridge cap before
fastening through the overlap. Place next ridge cap with 7 inch
overlap. Insert closure strip and install nails. Install nal ridge
cap with 7 inch overlap and 3 to 4 inch overhang. Insert closure
strip and install nails.
At each end of the ridge, cut the overhang poron of the ridge
cap along the crown with a ulity knife. Fold down resulng
aps for a weather guard. Secure aps to ridge fascia with
roong nails.

Note: Install all sheets on both sides of the roof before installing
the ridge cap.
Measure the ridge to determine the required coverage.
Ridge caps are available in 39.5 inches and 79 inches long. If
more than one ridge cap is needed, they must be installed with
a 7 inch overlap. The overlap must be over a corrugaon so that
the overlap is fastened with a nail through the corrugaon. For
resistance to wind upli, the exposed end of the ridge cap must
be no more than 3 inches from the closest nail posion on a
corrugaon. Allow for 3 or 4 inches of material at end of ridge
to overhang ridge end. This material will be used to cover the
end of the ridge.
