Hello,
I am curious for you HVAC experts whether a wire mesh cover is necessary for furnace vent on the roof? My HVAC guys says no way since it could lead to ice build up etc and looks like placed a 45. I tend to think you need something to prevent birds from nesting? Please disregard red circles - I recognize some of these are NOT hvac but just bath vents and radon vent.
Your thoughts?
Here is the cover I was thinking:
