Thanks for the post Theresa and thanks for buying a metal roof. Yes there are ridge vents available ... what I really suggest is going back to the manufacturer of your roofing to see if they produce one or have one to recommend. They probably will. You also could look at a product called ProfileVent used with a standard ridge cap.

We are putting a metal roof on our sons home over an old shingle roof, we are putting down the 1x strips to screw the metal to, we are wondering if they make a vented ridge cap in white for the metal roofs and can use this instead of putting those small vents in which is so much more work. We have used the vented ridge caps on shingled roofs and they are great, but we can't find out if they make them for the metal roofs. Thanks for any help you can give. Theresa

+1 on Todd recommendation or an installer can typically fabricate a unit out of the same metal if you are going with standing seam.
