crb Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I have a pyramid hip roof on the upper level. I need to vent the attic as it has no venting and is hot as all hell. Not to mention its baking my shingles. My question is what is the best way to vent the attic? My first thought was a power vent, bit my step father in-law said he wouldn't because roof is not steep enough. He suggested ridge vents up the hip. My concern is snow or rain leaking into the attic. My thought is to run ridge vent top to bottom and seal them down with roof jack to minimize possible leaking. What are your thoughts?
