Lean To Shed Roof Pitch

I am planning a 12x16 shed with a lean-to coming out 12' on one side. i am trying to get the max height out of the lean-to that i can, what is the minimum roof pitch for asphalt shingles? i could go with a metal roof, but would rather explore asphalt as the rest of the shed is asphalt on a 7/12 roof.. Lean to shed roofs develop an interesting problem as they get larger. if the roof pitch is very steep at all then it will rise to a height that becomes unsightly. some may say it is ugly. this “ugly” design is most often avoided by installing a low slope roof to keep the rise of the roof at a minimum.. Your shed roof pitch may also be influenced by your project specific requirements to let light into the building through the roof or create storage space in the roof void. whichever roof pitch you choose make sure that you select a roof covering that is designed to be waterproof at the angle that you eventually select..

Mono pitch sheds also known as skillion roof or lean to
