I have been looking at sheet metal roofs and decided I want these kinds of panels:
http://www.byggmax.com/se-sv/Prod/PID-20130.aspx
But I see that the recommendations for such sheet metal roofs are at least 14 degrees of slope, which is too much for the shed roof I plan to build. More suitable would be a slope of about 9-10 degrees or just below.
Are there any solutions for this problem? Can I, in my case, seal all the joints between the metal panels and use roofing paper like Yapp 2200? Can I have a lower slope then? I would prefer not to give up the idea of a metal roof in favor of another material.

I used www.clix.se, super easy to lay as long as it was straight things. I also ordered for my low-pitched roofs (5 degrees) but chose rubber instead as it became too complicated with corners etc.

I've looked at those you recommended. I don't know why I was slightly more drawn to clix than falsat. But, I think the products appealed to me! Really nice! 
But before I abandon the metal sheets I opened the thread with, I'd like to ask more about sealing, etc. I read about the waterproofing Icopal Topsafe 3° which can be used on roofs with a slope down to 3 degrees. Is it possible to use something like this or Yapp 2200 or similar UNDER the metal sheets for increased protection against water intrusion at lower roof slopes (so I can still use the "cheaper" sheets from Byggmax)?
Can anyone also give an approximate sqm price for Clix? My roof that I plan to redo this summer is about 11 sqm, and it's that extension I wrote about earlier.
