Abstract

Apparatus for attaching rigid, conventional ridge tiles to a roofing structure is disclosed wherein elongated members extend along either side of the roof ridge so as to support the lateral edges of the conventional ridge tiles. The ridge tiles are supported on both elongated members such that the tiles extend over the ridge of the roof. Since the tiles merely rest against the elongated members, a plurality of locating and retaining straps are utilized to retain the ridge tiles on the elongated members. Each locating and retaining strap passes over a portion of the conventional ridge tile and engages a portion of the elongated members to form the sole means for retaining the ridge tiles in position. The elongated members have upwardly extending retaining portions so as to retain the nibs of conventional roofing tiles adjacent the roof ridge. Also, end pieces are provided which may be fastened to the elongated members to cap the ends at the roof ridge.
