Hello, What would be the minimum pitch required for a metal roof? Does minimum pitch vary with styles and/or manufacturers? Thanks John

Each manufacturer will have different rules. You can get away with a 2:12 or as low as a 1:12 if the panels are mechanically seamed. Eric Novotny

Thank you for the quick response. I was hoping the minimum pitch was less than shingles. With those minimum pitch numbers it will open up some great options in my remodel. Thanks again John

There are metal roofsthat can be used as low as 1/4:12. However, roofs less than 3:12 require vertical seam panels and roofs less then 2:12 requirew mechanically seamed standing seam. Todd Miller
