I see a lot of people on here seem to use it! Is it just me or does anybody else think the stuff actually sucks For ventilation? There are plenty other products I think that are better curious why everybody seems to use this?? And it is the same Price or more expensive than alternatives.

Menards by me sells a similar product called Mongoose. From all the animal shows I watched as a kid Mongoose beats Cobra every time. I can use the same logic here, right?

Don't care for the mongoose brand due to the glue strips incorporated into the vent material.

Gums up the shears I use to cut it with. Minor annoyance I know but is what it is. Why God made apples and oranges, so we would have choices.

Clogs with dust faster than other brands There is no truth to this whatsoever. A good friend who is also my neighbor and the largest roofer in this area says this is a bunch of crap. By the way he roofs about 500 houses per year so he has some experience with venting. I'll take his word for it and continue to use it. michael

3 reasons that won't happen, 1st I don't use mesh that will rust, 2 bats don't get in the way I put the screen on and install the Ridge vent, 3 bat guano doesn't fit through my screen/hardware cloth. I don't think that cobra venting is inferior product I just think that there are better venting Options out there

I'm with Kasey. PVC coated wire isn't going to rust.

travelintrapper calm down relax it'll be ok LOL nothing to be calm about Adam, I am always calm. Ive seen several places where what I described above has happened. Most guys around here put 1/4" hardware cloth on then some even reuse the old north country, with new shingles. WE just did a fairly large job with 76' on the garage and 178' on the house where this was an issue. The garage and home were "bat proofed" by a somewhat reputable company and he contracted a roofer to fix the venting issue. Well 3 years later the owner is sick of bat crap falling on everything in his garage under the peaks and got me out there to see what we could offer. as far as dust clogging it in my experience I see way more issues with clogged vents on the intake, or the soffits rather then the exhaust- ie ridge. michael

In rural areas with busy gravel roads and cornfields on all sides I have seen it almost completely plugged. For whatever its worth. I still use it in places.
