Concealed fix minimum roof pitch.
Steel roof cladding minimum pitch.
The standard of lower pitch actually ranges between 1 12 to 5 12.
The minimum pitch allowed for metal shingles is a 3 12 ratio whereas metal panelling can be applied down to a 1 12 ratio.

The following table provides the minimum required allowable roof slope for each type of roofing material mentioned in the code.
The profile sheets are typically coated steel but can.
The minimum slope for lapped non soldered seam metal roofs with applied lap sealant shall be one half unit vertical in 12 units horizontal 4 percent slope.
Orientation roofing and vertically laid cladding.
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.
In fact the larger the first number becomes the steeper the slope.
The lower run is the primary weather seal and should be positioned as close as possible to the edge of the top sheet.
The profile is made up of a series of corrugations each in the shape of a trapezium refered to as trapezoidal profile which lap together side to side and end to end making it very easy to cover varying areas of roof quickly.
The minimum pitch is typically 3 12 meaning the roof should rise 3 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal foot.
After that the miimum pitch for metal panels depending on the methods used to join the panels.
Typically two continuous runs of 6 5 or 6mm diameter butyl sealant strips are used.
The standard end lap arrangement for trapezoidal steel weather sheets at any roof pitch greater than or equal to 4 is shown in fig 12.
Profiled roof systems are best suited for roof pitches greater than 5 degrees.
Fixings secret fixed lug system for long sheet lengths.
Trapezoidal profile roof sheets.
Panels joined with an applied lap sealant can go as low as 12.
The pitch of a roof is expressed in a ratio of rise over run creating a theoretical triangle with these numbers to illustrate the amount of slope.
The minimum slope for lapped non soldered seam metal roofs without applied lap sealant shall be three units vertical in 12 units horizontal 25 percent slope.
Anything above that will require you to put out higher cost because they are already considered as higher pitch.
