Finish at Ridge and Hips
The most common type of finish for asphalt shingles is shown in Figure 104. Asphalt shingle squares (one third of a strip) are used over the ridge or hip and blind-nailed. Each shingle is lapped to provide the same coverage as the roofing shingles. Orient the ridge cap to provide maximum protection from the prevailing wind. For wood shingles, 150 mm (6 in.) wide shingles are alternatively lapped and blind-nailed (Figure 104). Flashing is sometimes used under a wood-shingle ridge.
