Depending on the roofing you may not be able to have that much slope. Use a metal roofing and it can be almost flat. If shingles are required you may can use and ice and water shield under the shingle and get away with a 2/12.
The one where I build a shed

The only restriction here is that a secondary structure (including a shed) can't be taller than the main structure. I've even seen some two-story sheds around.Comment

I have a 12x12 garden shed that came with the house. The yard is pretty small with extensive plantings so I don't need a riding mower. It's in the front yard but on the lake you basically have two front yards with the side closer to the street less important in many ways. Vinyl siding and basic construction had to make costs low. It is important storage and I wish it was bigger. I don't know how old it is but the only thing that needs attention is the wood door. It is a normal wooden entry door with a window in it. Paint is coming off due to water splashing on it. It may have to be replaced, certainly needs paint. It's on the list but the list is long.Comment

Something to consider is "overbuilding" by using screws instead of nails. I built my 9X12 shed in Toyota City Japan using screws on everything but shingles. Somewhat of an overbuild except when that typhoon stalled over us and we had sustained winds in the 80 - 100 MPH for 4+ hours. Only lost a few shingles.
Used screws on plywood exterior also. Tougher than nails!
I use ringshank nails for the best of both worlds.Comment
