Abstract: A venting apparatus being used in for the ventilation of roof structures. The venting apparatus includes at least two side panels in juxtaposition to each other. A series of support elements hold the side panels at a selected height. Channels between the support elements permit the movement of air from the ambient external environment to the inside of the architectural structure on which the venting apparatus is positioned. A mesh side element extends between the support elements and provides both a baffle to the movement of air and a mechanical barrier to the infiltration of large airborne materials, animals, and birds.
