Min. pitch requirement: "I'm working on the basic design for a church in ..." - Guest User (6/22/2004) | Roof Pitch | Archive

I'm working on the basic design for a church in Spooner, WI and am not sure of the required min. roof pitch to appropriately deal with snow loads. The building footprint is 120' x 153'-10". Exterior walls are pre-cast, aggregate panels 18' in height. Most of the structure will have 12" overhang. Approximately 1/2 of the building will be Sanctuary and we'll want the "cathedral ceiling" feel and look. I want to have a dramatic exterior appearance, yet be fully functional and low(er)-maint. Any information of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Mark Hazlett Project Engineer/CAD Tech.

There are metal roofing systems that can go down as low as 1/2" in 12" slope however they are more commercial in nature and the provide is typically bolder/higher. I would suggest going to our members page and contacting a few once yoiu choose a product and they may be able to help you in more detail.

I have a 4X12 pitch, possibly 3X12. This is a private residence. Can this be done with a metal roof?? Thanks	Guest User 6/28/2004	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3325/find/
Most of the residential metal roofing products shown on this site can be used as low as a 3:12 pitch.	Guest User 6/28/2004	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3326/find/
