[ Wherefore, the following is claimed:] [1.] A system of wind spoiler ridge row caps for buildings with shallow pitched gabled roofs, comprising ridge row caps constructed of metal or other rigid materials having a pair of outwardly sloping side walls which form an inverted V-shaped ridge, each said wall having a lower end and an upper end, wherein said walls of said caps are designed to fasten over the ridge row of a roof with one said wall of said caps extending downward to be attached at said lower end to one side of said roof, and the other said wall of said caps extending downward to be attached at said lower end to the other side of the roof, wherein the walls of the caps extend from said lower end in a continuous progressively curved fashion to said upper end where said walls of said caps turn sharply outward to form a lip, or protrusion, at an upper end of said caps, and then turn back in the opposite inwardly direction to form a slightly rounded top of the caps.
