Low pitch roofing sheets

I have changed my design again and will have a pitched roof after all.

I think that's for the best.

 

Of-course now that you're not doing it, you'll not actually find out for certain what a pain in the ass your flat roof would have been ultimately.

 

But knowing a fair few builders, joiners, roofers, and such like, it seems generally accepted that they are problematic, high maintenance, and best avoided if at all possible.

Yes I agree about flat roofs, and this is why I was wondering about nearly flat steel sheets.

 

 My solution in the end is to have a roof with two different pitches.  The part nearest my boundary has a low pitch (to comply with permitted development rules limiting overall height to 2.5m), and the main section is 20 degree pitch.

 

 The low part is only possible as it is supported by the truss with the steeper slope.
