Got it. What's the other dimension of the flashing? Wide or long?

With that low a pitch, a membrane or hot-mopped asphalt is required. I'd tear off the old shingles and check that the rafters haven't sagged so one or another is lower in the middle than at the walls. One rafter between two others can form a bowl.

My situation is that I own my home and rent the space with car port/shed. Same deal — asphalt shingles on a 1/2"/ft pitch. There is 4ft between the two. I got a 4x10ft piece of double-wall greenhouse glazing to bridge the gap, with a 3"/ft pitch. I've got a Shopsmith and some shelving there now.
