My log home has a standing seam metal roof with a 12/12 pitch. I did not discover until some months after it was installed (and the installer had gone bankrupt when the housing bubble burst) that the ridge vent is incorrectly done. While it looks fine, there is no vent material (or whatever it's called) to allow airflow while blocking rainwater and critters. I've seen the stuff in rolls at Home Depot; what is the best way to install it? I really don't want to drill out all the rivets and remove the ridge cap if I don't have to - given the pitch, getting up there (and staying up there) is a chore. One of the roofers actually slid off during construction, and it's almost 30 feet to the ground. Can I (or somebody I would hire) just wedge the material in the openings and fasten it down somehow?
