Hello!
We are currently planning the garage, which we will build ourselves. We would like to construct an asymmetrical gable roof. That means a front pitch of 25° as on the main roof. This results in a rear roof pitch of 6.8°.
We want to use the same standard roof tiles as on the house. This probably won't work on the rear side with such a low pitch, right? Would it be possible if we install a waterproof underlayment made of roofing felt beneath? Does anyone have experience with this?
A metal roof right next to the living room would surely be too noisy during rain.

If the standard roof pitch for the tiles is not met, a waterproof underlayment must be installed, for example, sheathing with roofing felt. Some tiles also do not look as good at the joints when the roof is too flat. In my opinion, beaver tail tiles also look good on flatter roofs but still require an underlayment in that case.
