The book says 3 in 12 is the minimum amount of pitch for a metal roof. also remember that metal roofs sweat and this will ruin any hay left under it. you need to add some type of insulation under the roof to stop the sweating. I have a corrugated metal roof on my barn and its sweats terrible. It leaves a lot of dark mold on the hay where it drips of the ends of the sheeting. My neighbor had a pole barn put up and they put insulation under the metal roof and no sweating. If tou live in snow country I would even want more than 3 in 12 as the snow causes ice dams that make the melting snow backup under the overlap at the pitch you want it would be way to little to stop this. Personally I would prefer 8 or 10 in 12 in snow country and maybe 6 in 12 in heavy rain for a metal roof after all the idea is to keep your hay dry and free of mold. Walt
