CLOSE FITTING / VENTILATED
RIDGES
The EUROSIX range of closed ridges and vents are
available in the following sizes:
Girths 750mm (12.5° and 15° only) or 900mm,
in pitches of 5° to 22.5° in 2.5° increments.
1800mm girth available from stock. Please contact
our technical department for more details.
Both slopes of the roof must be sheeted starting at
the same gable end and the corrugations must be
accurately aligned up and over both slopes of the
roof. It is vital that the ridge and the top sheets are
mitred. Fix the ridge in exactly the same way as the
sheets, and ensure the fasteners are a minimum of
100mm from the tail end of the ridge.

PURLIN SETTING OUT
All 750mm and 900mm cranked ridges (both closed
and ventilated) must overlap the EUROSIX straight
sheet by 300mm (this creates a non fragile ridge
detail).
If the sheets have to be laid with 300 mm laps
because of the exposure rating, use the smaller
dimension.
If using 750mm girth EUROSIX ridges on roofs
with pitches of 12.5 and 15, a 300mm overlap will
encroach on the curved part of the ridge, this is
correct. However to ensure no damage occurs, use
8mm butyl strips as a spacer between the ridge and
the sheet.
The tables below provide the setting out details for
a range of purlin sizes.
