It's a metal shed so no wooden base

When you had the floor laid, was sealant added to the mix?

The garage - don't know as this was done when I bought the house.
The outbuildings - built myself , the floors laid with ready mix four inches thick over visqueen. One 18 years old , the other 6 years old. Nothing added. Pleased to say still no sign of any dust. ( Though not short of spiders)

Condensation will be the biggest problem in a metal shed , they are usually so damp that dust is never a problem. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation.

Yes, now the metal bit has been added I was thinking that, but judging from the 1st post I assume he is already getting dust so????

But being metal it will be prone to condensation, lining with old carpet, something that is fine in a wooden shed should be avoided.

Thanks guys I should have said it was metal at the start,not sure if he's got dust yet the shed was erected a couple of weeks ago and he's just getting prepared,it won't be a work shed just a place for garden tools and clutter no doubt

In that case I can't really see why he's concerned about dust.
