What is the shallowest non-flat roof possible

    I was viewing a house today and the neighbour's has some kind of corrugated strip metal roofing on. Strip as in layered like slates in the direction of the slope but seemingly short strips lengths across the roof. Angle looked like about 10 degrees.

    I'm looking a parapet type extension stopping around gutter height against a pitched roof building, would need flat roof for height but would like to avoid it. A 10 degree angle I could handle though.

    The slopes of such a roof would face east and south.

    Anyone know what kind of roofing this is and what the min angles involved are?

    Cheers

    It was more metal looking and had a somewhat corrugated look. Angle seemed a bit shallower that gusclad's 15 degrees (then again, I was judging by eye). But interesting all the same, especially if hidden from view behind a parpapet.

    Thanks!

    I have used that coated metal sheeting on two extensions where we didnt want to break into the existing roof, it comes in various styles of finish to look like different types of tiles alright. We bought it out of Micks hardware in Clonsilla, but i'm sure others supply it.
    From memory it could go as low as 4 degrees, came with colour matching gasket tec screws, edgings and trims.
