1 12 roof options.

The ibhs recommends a 4 to 6 pitch roof. I would just explain that any 1 12 roof w o torch down or membrane may leak. This is for the top level of a 3 story building that is 26 by 64. For most home styles roof pitches fall in a range 4 12 a moderate slope up to 8 12 fairly steep.

What is a 1 12 roof pitch if a roof rises 1 in a length of 12 this is 1 12 roof pitch. I d do two layers of 30lb tar the nails tell them it will need replacement in 5 7years and call it a day. At 1 12 pitch you are right at the threshold where standing seam becomes impermissible i mean true standing seam with a rolled lock seam and soldered flat seams must be. In fact a properly installed metal roof can be used on roofs as shallow as 1 2 inch 12 inches which is almost flat.

A very low pitch roof can also be done in metal. Examples of extreme slopes range from 1 4 12 almost flat to 12 12 sloping down at a perfect 45 degree angle. 1 12 roof pitch angle 4 76 degrees. A metal roof might blend.

Long lasting and old fashioned metal roofing is an excellent design choice if most of your house has steeper roof.
