We took an old lean to shed down a couple of years ago and now want to rebuild it in a new position but close to a neighbouring house, ( which they are happy about). Question is what degree pitch is acceptable.
Shed size is 30'x45'.
Thanks

Well yes and no as I can alter it if necessary. I hear what your saying though. It used to be attached to a Dutch barn and so is quite high at the front but quite low for modern equipment at the back. I was hoping to lower front a bit and raise back a bit to keep the neighbours on my side.

Just wanted to know what was an acceptable pitch really. I find Christmas a good time to discuss these things with people that it affects as they are usually in a good mood.

Yeah know what you mean. Just thinking of you're putting tin on the roof and can get a full length sheet you could have it nearly flat.

Wouldn't want to go less than 12deg on fibre cement really

Was an asbestos roof but that's knackered so undecided. Box profile would be cheapest and quickest I'm guessing but the drips from condensation are a pain. So maybe fibre cement.
