Connie I do not have any information to provide to you but you are asking a simlar question to mine so hopefully we can both get some useful information. I have an old Minnesota north woods cabin that has shed roof additions on the front and back at about 1 1/2"/12 pitch. We have always used roll roofing but it's life is about 12-15 years. Can metal roofing go this flat?

This is not so much a matter of "code" as it is whether this type of installation is in keeping with the manufacturers' instructions for this roofing. Send me some pictures at [email protected] and I can give you some ideas possibly.

Yes, there are "field-seamed" metal roofs which work well on this pitch. Contact an experienced metal roofing contractors and let them know that you need a mechanically seamed standing seam roof -- double or triple lock.
