Hi guys, a quick question, im slating a garage at the mo and am looking for the proper fit of ridge cap to tell the owner to get. I usually get a few samples to see which fits best but i cant this time due to time constraints. Pitch : 35 thanks

the sum for your ridges is 35 plus 35 equals 70.70 from 180 gives you 110 degree or as close as is manufactered tighter rather then looser is best

Reason for the above is that the 3 angles in a triangle add up to 180. you have two 35's (70) which leaves a ridge angle of 110, 115degree ridges will be ideal.
