Anything above that will require you to put out higher cost because they are already considered as higher pitch.
Minimum pitch for corrugated plastic roof.
Allow 7 4 from floor to bottom of front header for best ventilation.
The standard of lower pitch actually ranges between 1 12 to 5 12.
The pitch is measured in inches of vertical rise per foot of horizontal run and the 5v crimp profile shown above requires a minimum slope of three in twelve or 3 12 3 inches vertically per 12 inches horizontally.
Corrugated roofing is a great material on traditional pitched roofs but it has severe limitations when the pitch gets below 5 degrees.
If your roof has a shallower pitch you may need to use additional weatherproofing measures.
The roof should have a pitch of at least one inch per foot to allow water to drain properly.
The cladding should be supported at maximum centres as specified by the manufacturer and fixings should be a minimum of 50mm from sheet ends.
Corrugated metal roofing has the same minimum pitch.
The following table provides the minimum required allowable roof slope for each type of roofing material mentioned in the code.
The minimum pitch for a roof is 1 4 12 which translates to 1 4 inch rise to 12 inches of run.
That is why all roofing manufacturers recommend the 5 degree pitch as the minimum slope and they will not provide any guarantees if it is installed flatter than this.
Just like other metal roofs the minimum pitch for a corrugated metal roof largely depends on the profile of the roof.
The minimum pitch is typically 3 12 meaning the roof should rise 3 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal foot.
3 pre notch rafters to compensate for allow a 1 minimum pitch per foot for adequate drainage.
The minimum roof slope allowed by code for any type of roof is in 12 applicable only to coal tar pitch roof systems.
