[jack1962]

I am tiling my roof, it is a cross gable roof ,, T shaped. Are there Ridge tiles specially made for the intersection where both roofs meet?

It is a dry ridge system, are you aware if there are ridge tiles shaped for the junction, i know they do them for hips where they meet the ridge

'fraid not, angle grinder, 7mm drill and a long screw at the end cut to shape with some foam and/or stainless mesh to stop anything getting in at the cut.

Marley manufacture a dry hip system which uses cover pieces for the hip to ridge joins. I bought them for our last build and they may be suitable for your situation.

IIRC they do three sizes which cover a range of angles.

Unfortunately the maximum roof pitch is 45 degrees with the Marley system.

I have exactly the same cross gable same height ridge title problem. I can't believe this is so uncommon and arrangement that there isn't a product for it a simple t shaped ridge title like they have for ridge to hip but seems not!
