Condensation in a metal shed

jv_patel

Hi all

We have a metal shed and the condensation that accumulates within it is unbelievable.

Is there any sort of coating I can put onto the inside walls & ceiling to stop it?

And are there any cheap moisture-removal methods people can recommend?
I've seen some crystal type things in Homebase but these seem quite pricey.

Many Thanks

For what it's worth, almost every static caravan on every holiday park, is allowed 1/2 sheds, and they are all metal. Electricity is in them for washing machines/tumble dryers etc, not to mention everyone has a lawn mower. During the time we had ours, we often peaked inside these sheds, some were full to capacity. Now, during this time, not once did I ever hear anyone say the condensation has affected contents. Normally we would open the sliding doors in the morning for access etc, then within no time at all, all signs of condensation had gone. I wouldn't worry about it.

is it not just a question of the cold air outside,it will probably be okay when the weather gets warmer,there is no coating I`ve hea rd of,maybe a heater?!!

Line it with bubblewrap or other cheap thin insulation . A 50 metre x 2metre roll of large bubblewrap is only around a tenner !

A common problem. Make sure the shed has good ventilation and a lining of polystyrene tiles / sheet helps!

Do you know any good products that can stick polystyrene to metal safely?
