Product installs easily with well marked nailing locations & overlapping joints. Sturdy Plastic material allows Vent to keep a smooth profile when bent over the ridge across its width & length. Lower quality Ridge Vents buckle & have a wavy surface after install

Mesh yes, nails no.
This stuff is nice, but I woulddo the roll next time. The roll came quicker, it came with 2" nails and I didn't need to join peices together. However, the roll didn't have the mesh to keep bugsout. This one did.

      Stop re-inventing the wheel.
      I am an animal control expert. I have seen this style on many homes. The only thing they do is keep water out and breath well. As soon as the sun hits them, they expand and the edges pull away from the roof, leaving as much as 1" gaps that i have seen. If I see this style on a roof, my cost to seal a home for bat removal increases $500-$2500 depending on the home. I have never had an issue with the cheaper, tried and true mesh style ridge vent.

      Hello, thank you for your feedback. We have not seen significant expansion or contraction when properly installed with the 1/8" gap between vents as mentioned in the installation instructions. This product is made with UV stable polymers and is tested to ensure the product resists expansion/contraction or warping when left exposed to the elements. Also, the proper air slot is no more than 7/8". This product is sold through the northern portion of the US and Canada and has not experienced complaints with rodent intrusion to date. As you mentioned, it does a very good job at exhausting heat and moisture when installed in a properly balanced attic ventilation system consisting of exhaust and intake, at or near the soffits. Thank you. gaf

        Good product. Better than the original Ridge Runner. Would be nice if they included longer hot dipped roofing nails as they have done in the past. Would be 5 stars had they done that.

        Disappointed...bought two cases in store. Both were factory sealed and both came with no nails. Not something you want to find out as you complete your roofing work and need to cap up the ridge before bad weather moves in.

          garage was hotter than ever with new cobra snow country ridge vent. Tested venting using a stick of incense on a hot day held up to the underside of the ridge vent and watched with a flashlight. Heat does not flow out. It barely trickles out. The problem may be the fine mesh screen which is meant to keep snow out also keeps heat in. Don't get the snow country with the fine mesh is my advice. My first roof lasted 23 years with no leaks and the original vent never let the garage get this hot.

          Hello, we're sorry to hear about your experience. All ridge vents, as your probably aware, require proper intake ventilation, typically at the soffit area. Also, this product is test by 3rd party to ensure airflow is not impeded by the integral snow filter which as you stated helps resist fine snow infiltration. Please contact our technical team at 1-800-ROOF-411 to discuss your installation. We'd love to understand your installation and factors that may be driving your experience. gaf

            Hello, we're sorry about your experience. To clarify, Cobra Snow Country and Cobra Snow Country Advanced are both filtered ridge vents designed for resisting snow infiltration in colder climates. Only Snow Country Advanced comes with 3" ring shank nails. We will update our product page to reflect this clarification. Thank you. gaf

              Perfect
              I used the vent system as an employee as a roofer and on my own side jobs. It comes in 4 foot sections, easy to install and looks significantly better than ridge roll.

                  Just what the roofer needed prior to a storm
                  Pre drilled installation holes make for easy installation on a windy day on a three story house
