Why is it that asphalt roll roofing never seems to be used for steeply pitched roofs?
It doesn't appear as if it's contra-inducated by the manufacturer.

Roll roofing, steep roof.

Because it looks like cheap s**t, moreso with the increased visibility from ground-level as pitch increases? In large part.

I've heard that it's illegal here.

1) It would be very difficult to apply. You use roof jacks under the shingles on Steep roofs. No place to fasten them with the rolled roofing.
In addition to looking like crap, it also does not last as long as good shingles.
