A ridge end assembly for a hipped roof is disclosed in which panel-supporting elongate members of the hipped roof are connected to the ridge end by connectors which are provided with means for locating lengths of sealing material betwen panels supported, in use, by the panel supporting members and an overlying ridge end cap. In one embodiment, the ridge assembly can include a ridge structure, a ridge cap for fitting atop the ridge structure, the ridge cap having a channel at its underside, and at least one fastener having an enlarged part for reception and retention in the channel, the fastener comprising a flexible tie by means of which the cap can be drawn into place on the ridge structure and then secured by a locking member co-operating with the tie. In another embodiment, a roofing structure comprises an eaves structure, glazing bars supported on the eaves structure, one or more roofing panels supported by the glazing bars and an end fitting including a portion overlying one end of the roofing panel and coupled to the eaves structure to prevent lifting of the roofing panels.
A ridge end assembly for a hipped roof comprising a ridge end provided with a mounting element, a number of panel-supporting members radiating from the mounting element at diverging angles relative to each other, a panel supported between each pair of panel-supporting members, a ridge end cap partly overlying and spaced from the panels and a length of sealing material in strip form extending transverse to the panel-supporting members, the sealing material bridging a gap between each panel and the overlying ridge end cap, each supporting member being connected to the mounting element by a separate connector and each connector being provided with a seal locator for locating the strip of sealing material such that a strip width bridges said gap with one edge contacting the panel and the opposite edge contacting or in close proximity to the overlying ridge end cap.
