Venting Over Wide Ridge Beam – GreenBuildingAdvisor

Hello, we are mostly through with framing, and had a realization that we don’t have a good vent path to the ridge cap. Our roof is carried by a girder truss that is 4 ply 2x material. So 6″ wide. The rafters/trusses are parallel chord 24″ deep. The intent is to vent the sheathing and fill the remainder of the truss with dense pack. Today the framer and I were looking at it and realized there isn’t a path past where the rafter/truss meets the beam. Being a 6″ wide beam, it’s a little different than typical. How would you handle this situation? Picture is attached to show what I mean. I’ll grab one of the actual truss when I can.
Ideally, we would have held the beam an inch lower, but that’s in the past now.
