Abstract
A gable vent assembly comprising a mounting ring and a cover member. The mounting ring includes a plurality of distinct lengths, one of which is formed in two parts to enable easy manipulation of portions thereof when the mounting ring is positioned over an opening in a wall having siding thereon. The cover member includes a plurality of shoulder portions which engage with securing grooves in the mounting ring such that the gable vent member may be secured to the mounting ring without the need for fastening elements such as threaded screws, staples or the like. The cover member and mounting ring are also adjustably positionable relative to each other to accommodate different thicknesses of siding.
