Roof Vent Cage Assembly

Abstract

A roof vent cage assembly includes a first screen that is formed into a cylinder to surround a powered roof vent on a building. The first screen is comprised of a mesh material to inhibit an animal to pass through the first screen. A second screen is coupled to the first screen such that the second screen is positioned over the powered roof vent when the first screen is positioned around the powered roof vent. The second screen is comprised of a mesh material to inhibit an animal from passing through the second screen. A plurality of flange screens is each coupled to and extends outwardly from the first screen to rest on the powered roof vent when the first screen is positioned around the powered roof vent.
