"press all three clips firmly into place"... Except you can't because the union just bends! You have to push them down before fitting the next tile, and then force it into place under the already positioned clips!

Is there any advantage to using the straps to secure the battens to the rafters vs just screwing down thought the battens into the ridge with decent stainless steel screws? The straps just seem to be a bit of a waste of time, especially if retro fitting if you can just screw the battens to the ridge.

You could use a long screw to fix the battens in place, although with it being vital that extreme winds at the ridge do not pull the fixing out, we would recommend using the batten straps to provide a very secure fit.

@@nbpltd I fitted my new ridge a few weeks ago & I just used 120mm x 8mm landscaping hex head screws through two 25mm battens into to 9x2 ridge board & it's absolutely solid. The long thin stainless screws provided with the dry ridge system would definitely give way LONG before the 8mm landscaping screws. For my situation this way was a lot faster than messing on with straps but obviously every situation is different.

Personally I'd bang a strap either end and middle. Only if its my own property tho ​@@northeastcorals

Do you need ridge trays with this?

[@nbpltd]

You will if fitting on hips, but according to Easy Trim's installation instructions, they are not necessarily required on the ridge.
