How to handle the roofing ridge between doing each side during a long spanned project
Do you mean a metal strip?

I am doing a roofing job on my home over the course of a summer or well
maybe a year if winter comes early here in Wisconsin. The shingles
along the top I call the ridge shingles. I can cut three from a
three-tab shingle or buy them ready-made. What would you suggest for
that area if I can't get to the roof right away on the other side or
the ridge? Also with all the different sections some share that ridge
so its like all or nothing needs to be done within days, I know I do
not have that much consecutive time and with weather this is going to
be a weekend project. Other than tarping that unfinished ridge. My
question is if I make or buy pre made ridge shingles might I be ok to
nail the undone side down and then pry it up to shingle up under it
when I finally get to that side? Or should I buy mineral sheet roofing
and cut and use that temporarily as my ridge protection and try to
reuse it if it will come up ok on those parts of the roof till the
whole job is completed? My thinking is each time I pull the temporary
ridge rolled sheet roofing is that I can cut the area that I nailed at
the end if it tares or does not come up clean and just shorten it each
time I reuse it. I know this rolled roofing would give me a much longer
run between nails on the ridge do you think rain or wind might be a
factor in that length no seal tabbed lineal run along the roof. I hate
to buy or cut ridge shingles as temps only to have to pull them and
trash them if they do not come up clean between the total completion of
both sides of the roof between the ridge.
If you're using Ice & Water Shield at the eaves, use a 12" strip of it
wrapped over the ridge and nailed/stapled in place.
