Any ideas for a good DIY way to do an almost flat roof, at or about a
1or2-12 pitch? Thanks.

Do what? Build one? Fix one? More info needed.

Sorry, cover one. The previous owner did 3 tab on the front porch and did
a poor job of laying down rollout on the back porch.

As someone fighting an almost flat roof, watch that you have enough overhang
to get the water past the eave, use flashing of the six inch variety to
avoid wind blowing water back, use lots of caulk or tar or whatever you're
using, and just make it triple what you would on any other roof. Then after
it rains, go back and fix the leaks one at a time each time it rains. I'll
NEVER EVER do another slightly pitched roof. Royal PITAs even if done
right.
