I'm putting on my hip ridge cap now, and I'm not a roofer, but for the life of me I could not find a video that explained how to fold the ends. THIS was the only video I was able to find and it was clear as day. Thank you so much for uploading it! You helped me a ton! Much appreciated.
Thanks for the GREAT no nonsense video. After quite a bit of trial and error I came up with a very similar method for the same type of cap on my hip roof, but your method is easier/faster and looks just as good. Now I'm trying to figure out how to cut and fold of the same kind of cap at the intersection between two hips and a ridge. Hoping to find a video to speed up the process. Any ideas?
Watched this a hundred times last night....till I got the sense of it. I think ive got it now. I shudder to think how my hip caps would have turned out if it wasnt for your great video....thanks , Lisa
The first measure will vary depend on pitch. This roof was a 6 i believe. To get the first measure is very easy just line up the ridge cap uncut and mark both sides at the drip edge if that makes sense.
I didn't realise sorry a 45 degree cut changes on a pitch at a ridge capping... I always thought it was 45 to square without worrying about the pitch factor 🤔
Just another question.sorry if I've been rude but why fold the bottom of the ridge under the sheets? I thought folding it down let's the water drip off?

I'm Glad it helped and I hope you love the outcome.
Hey, really nice demo!

I wish I had seen this a week earlier! I'm off to order a new ridge cap to replace the one I butchered. LOL
Very nice, I normally don't bend the second leg under but I may have to start now
It looks way better with that extra step and slides under the drip edge
Great video. Much easier than the method I’ve been using. What was the pitch of the roof and do the measurements change with the pitch?

No change in pitch he just used a set square tomarka 45 then muck around after that.

@@Quigz1983 I guess your a professional lol we didn’t go to a school to learn how to roof if you know everything wtf you doing looking this up lol
Gracias por compartirnos buena enseñanza amigo saludos🙋🏽♂️
Nice job
Just another question.sorry if I've been rude but why fold the bottom of the ridge under the sheets? I thought folding it down let's the water drip off?
Looks great. I think it would be hard to do with thicker gauge Metal. I will definitely use this thanks
This is the thickest gauge metal we work with, its commercial grade steel . Super thick not sure what gauge .
How do u make hip cap run into gable rake. How do u cut that? Nobody makes videos of that
There is a video that shows exactly how it's done. Keep searching.
This man's an artist.
@@Liberty_Tree you damn right
Tab Under. Not tab over. Rivet the bend down to the tab under.
True. This is a self taught method from trial and error. Thanks
@@Mikemetalroofingself taught wrong.
So fricken tired of the “self taught” excuse.
Ask someone who knows, huh?
How about that?
@@r.w.fields Im sorry learning something without being taught really offended you . you sound miserable
@@r.w.fieldsgo to sleep if you're "so freaking tired".
uff so clean ..
Eres de Houston bro
jacksonville florida my friend
I'm drunk mate and a bored roofer so sorry for my comments sorry
I no this is a tutorial. But no actual comment as it offends people.
Do you know how to bend a cap for a pyramid hip roof?
It’s the same as this
tight
“Professional” in who’s opinion?
This is funny
Why not fold the sides down at the same time
huh
I do this om the roof
