Ridge/Barge Caps Nailing & Lapping
The Ridge/Barge caps have a slight taper in their design. Place the wider end of the ridge over the narrower end of the ridge beneath (overlap areas shown shaded grey).

Each Ridge/Barge cap should be secured with 2 nails on each side of the ridge cap through the pre-drilled holes

2. Slot end cap into position behind the flaps of the Ridge/Barge caps and fix into position with pop rivets or small zinc plated self tapping screws and cover with Decra finishing kit.

3. Install Ridge/Barge caps and nail into position.
