STEP 21: INSTALLATION OF RIDGE CAP

RIDGE CAP WILL COME IN 10’-6” LENGTHS. YOU WILL OVERLAP PIECES 6” UNTIL YOU GET TO THE OTHER

END OF THE BUILDING WHERE YOU WILL TRIM THE LAST PIECE TO FIT. THE RIDGE CAP SHOULD OVERHANG

THE GABLE TRIM 1/2” AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BUILDING.

Place a piece of Ridge Cap on the peak of the building. Center it and make a mark at the lower edges at the end of the

building. Do the same thing at the opposite end of the building and snap a chalk line between the marks. This will make

the Ridge Cap easier to line up and provide a measuring point for locating Butyl Sealing Tape and Outside Foam Closure

Strips.

Apply a bead of Butyl Sealing Tape to the roof panels the full length of the building 3/4” up from the chalk lines on both

sides of the roof. Now, press Outside Closure strips to the Butyl Tape all the way down the building on both sides of the

roof. The edge of the Closure should be 1/4” up from the chalk line.

Install the first piece of Ridge Cap on the peak at the back of the building. Let the Ridge Cap overhang the Gable Trim by

1/2”. Fasten with 1” Painted, Self-drilling Screws through the edge flange and into the top of every other major rib. Run

two beads of butyl tape at the end of the first piece of ridge cap to seal it to the next overlapping piece of Ridge Cap. Lap

the next piece of Ridge Cap 6” over the first, press the seam together and so on down the building. The last piece should

overhang the Gable Trim at the other end of the building 1/2”.

STEP 19: INSIDE CLOSURE STRIPS AT EAVE

On the inside of the building, install Inside Foam Closure Strips

between the eave trim flange and the roof panels. Peal the strips off

the backing paper, pull down the eave trim flange and work the closure

strips between the flange and the roof panels. The ends of the strips

will interlock at a major rib. Start in one corner and work to the other.
