Question:
Can these tiles be placed on top of existing mineral felt roof on pent summerhouse with 5⁰ pitch?
Answer:
That is below the min pitch advised for them, but if the roof is waterproof and sound with its current covering you should be fine to lay these over as a decorative finish.
If the shingles were to be the main waterproofing layer we would not advise it as below the recommended min pitch.

Answer:
Minimum reccomended pitch is 15°.
