Roof Ridge Ventilation

Lightning conductor?

Lots of info here:

Thanks. Couldn't find anything similar there, but I think I might have tracked it down: Anti-moss Copper Ridge,

"Exposure to air and water causes the copper to oxidize, creating a fungicide called Copper Sulphate/copper irons "

LOL He sounds like a real rocket scientist.

Total snake oil.

The message from marvelus contains these words:

Hardly. The explanation is,to say the least, suspect but it has been suggested a number of times on this ng without adverse comment that a copper wire stretched along the ridge does deter moss growth.

The message from Roger contains these words:

I wouldn't say "without adverse comment" - it appears to have had its detractors every time it's mentioned.

Actually, I suspect it can work in some areas, and perhaps not in others, depending on the level of air pollution.

The easy thing to do is to try it. Strip a bit of T and E and stretch it over HALF the ridge (controlled experiment)and take pictures and monthly intervals,

The message from The Natural Philosopher contains these words:

If I were bothered by moss and lichen then I might - but I rather like them.

Lichen is nice, but moss really clogs up gutters and downpipes.

The message from The Natural Philosopher contains these words:

I've never had a problem with it - the stuff just seems to bounce over the gutters.
