Are shingles on a plastic ridge vent only for cosmetic appearance?
(About 8ft of shingles blew off the ridge vent; vent itself is fine.


What's so hard about nailing on cap shingles


What kind of nails work best into a flimsy plastic ridge vent ?
... liquid ones ? :-)

I just used the regular nails in my air nailer - with no problem. The
cap shingles protect the plastic from harmful UV rays which would
otherwize deteriorate the plastic making it brittle.
