The garage we're looking at has quite a shallow pitched roof, but the company offer shingles instead of felt for it. I've been reading that if the pitch is too shallow, water can get under the shingles. Does anyone know what sort of pitch would be OK?

IIRC it is 15° (it is for tiles).

Best check, I am not a doctor.

I'd get EPDM instead anyway.

Should be around 14° depending on the size of shingle.
