A roll-form roof ridge vent having a plurality of hollow cusps and a reinforced nail line. The cusps space the upper surface of the vent from the underlying roof to provide a path of ventilation therebetween. The reinforced nail line permits the use of standard pneumatic roofing nail guns to apply nails to the vent and overlying cap shingles. The reinforced vent resists compression and prevents nail heads of nails driven into hollow cusps of the vent from sinking past the upper surface of the vent. The nail line reinforcement material can be a fabric, elastomeric or other type of material.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A roof ridge vent, comprising:a continuous, indeterminate length, mat having and a plurality of spaced apart cusps projecting downwardly from said upper face, said upper face being substantially planar in an unrolled and uninstalled condition, said mat being an openwork mat made of a plurality of randomly convoluted polymeric filaments, each of said cusps having a base portion coplanar with said upper face and an apex portion a spaced distance therefrom, said apex portions of said cusps forming a lower face of said mat opposite said upper face, said lower face being adapted to confront a roof ridge surface and said upper face being adapted to confront cap shingles overlying said vent;a strip of nail line reinforcement material bonded to at least a portion of said upper face of said mat; andan air permeable filter material bonded to said lower face of said mat for preventing weather and insect infiltration through said vent; reby, when installed, said vent provides a path or ventilation through said air permeable filter material and between said upper and lower faces of said mat from an opening in the roof ridge to the outside environment.
