Angle of rafters

[Jacob10]

I am building an open "vedbinge" with a metal roof and with the highest point in the front. The area is 4200x 5400 mm. What is a suitable angle for the roof?

I would say around 14-15 degrees and steeper for the snow to slide off and not having to make any strong trusses, which is required the lower the pitch you have.

Slope 1:4 or 14 degrees is the minimum for roof tiles to work, but it is a good starting point even with other roofing materials.
