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.
Corrugated metal roofing has the same minimum pitch.
The corrugated metal roof minimum slope is 5 degrees.

In most occasions a pitch of three in twelve is preferred but this should also take into consideration the manufacturer s recommendations as well the unique condition of the corrugated metal roof.
That is why all roofing manufacturers recommend the 5 degree pitch as the minimum slope and they will not provide any guarantees if it is installed flatter than this.
However you can only use this pitch with built up roofing or specialized synthetic roofing.
Corrugated roofing is an amazing choice for conventional pitched roof despite having the severe limitation about the pitch.
Pre notch rafters to compensate for slope.
