Roof Pitch For Metal Roof

That means there is at least 3 of vertical rise to the roof slope for every 12 it goes back horizontally.

Roof pitch for metal roof.

Profile in the context of metal roofing means the shape that the sheet of metal is bent into to form the panels. The minimum pitch for metal roofing varies depending on the profile of the metal. That is a 14 degree angle. The metal roof minimum slope doesn t stray far from other building with different material.

After that the miimum pitch for metal panels depending on the methods used to join the panels. Panels joined with an applied lap sealant can go as low as 12. The traditional metal roof types such as 5v crimp shown above and corrugated are rated by the manufacturers for use down to a 3 12 pitch three inches of vertical rise for every foot of horizontal run. The minimum pitch for metal roof shingles and lapped non soldered panels is 3 12.

The pitch is measured in inches of vertical rise per foot of horizontal run and the 5v crimp profile shown above requires a minimum slope of three in twelve or 3 12 3 inches vertically per 12 inches horizontally. The minimum pitch is typically 3 12 meaning the roof should rise 3 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal foot.
