try mineral felt it looks like torch on but you glue it down. sheet the roof with 3/4" tongued and grooved osb first then glue it down. its alot more solid than galvanised sheets of metal. an inch or inch and a half should do for a fall because the span isnt huge. you dont want too much of a fall either or water could come down the roof too fast and shoot off over the gutters.
