3:12 minimum pitch: "We're building a new house, planning on a metal roof, ..." - Guest User (3/7/2010) | Roof Pitch | Archive

We're building a new house, planning on a metal roof, and tentatively planning on a 3:12 pitch. Having now heard and read in several places that 3:12 is the minimum pitch for most residential metal roofs, my husband - always one to err on the side of caution - is now worried that we should go with a higher pitch. Are there good reasons to avoid this 3:12 pitch? Would a higher pitch give us fewer problems in the years ahead?

Metal roofs approved for 3:12 (and most of them are) will perform just fine.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 3/8/2010	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14537/find/
