Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 8/9/2012	If the ridge vent accessible from the attic side or will it have to be roof side? Todd is correct. They make ridge vent media filters that can be installed to prevent wind driven debris from getting through.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/17703/find/
