    I don't know what type of rolled roofing you mean. Since there are different types, I will send you several videos to choose from. It looks like you could put any of it on sloped roofs.

    Yes, you can, in fact the under layment is usually on a roll. Both the underl-layment material AND the rolled roofing is started at the edge closest to the ground, then each additional "roll" is placed so it overlaps the previously installed segment so that rain/snow/moisture can not get beneath the layeers as the overlap from the bottom up to the apex of the roof. A ridge piece is installed at the peak that overlaps the last edges on each slope of the roof.

    Yes, start at the bottom and run it horizontally across the roof, overlapping each course like you would shingles. Might want to add edging also.

    You sure can! No problem using it on a sloped roof.
