Yes, it can but specific measures are required usually above 10-15 degrees pitch to counter shear forces and potential slippage of the green roof build-up. Also, the roof specification needs to consider the requirement to store sufficient water particularly on steeper pitches. Project specific advice should be sought from a green roof manufacturer as requirements will vary depending on factors such as roof pitch, configuration, slope length etc. The maximum roof pitch that a green roof can be installed on will depend on the systems that the individual manufacturer has available. At Optigreen, for example, we can cater for roofs of up to 45 degrees pitch
