Homeowner needs a way to ventilate the hip ridges of a hipped metal roof when installing over existing shingles with a furring strip air gap, but no product exists for hip ridge ventilation.
No existing vent product works on hip ridges (only on top ridges), and roofer claims any homemade solution would leak.
