Tiling for shallow pitch roof
I want to reroof my double garage which currently has decayed fibre cement panels. I would like to use some sort of tiles if possible but would welcome any other suggestions for an aestheticlly pleasing roof. Problem is that it is only an 11.5 degree pitch.

minimum pitches for tiles.
rough guide.
30-35deg pitch plain tiles.
20 deg slates.
17-30 deg conc. interlocking.
there are a number of designs of interlocking tiles, only a few of which will allow for a shallow pitch. marley make a "wessex" which will go down to 15 deg with 100mm headlap.

redland regents go to 12.5 deg. or you could ply and felt under the tiles as to make an independant roof, the tiles would only really be for decoration.

Cheers
this method always amuses me, especially by the time youve fixed the lathes and punctured the felt several times.
