Shed ceiling has tons of condensation

Anyone have this problem in their sheds? The roof is some metal material and the walls are made of wood.

 

Do you have warm, high humidity days, and cold nights that cool the shed roof? We have no problem with it here. Around here it's dryer than a popcorn fart.

 

Concrete or dirt floor could hold moisture which then evaporates with warmer weather.

I'm thinking a vent at the eaves or a roof hole with a chimney cap would permit moist air a place to go before it starts to condense on the metal roof.

 

Usually, the wooden walls should absorb any condensation from the weather changes. Unless they have a few thick coats of oil based paint over the wood. Tin sheds are terrible structures up here. All your tools, lawnmowers and anything else metal, rusts like hell in them. Especially if you put the tin shed on a concrete pad.

Sound like you have a ventilation problem there and like VFR Love says, a roof vent or two may solve the problem. I would put a screened air intake way down low somewhere along with the roof vents. You will then get outside cooler air drawn in low and as it heats, riding up through the roof vents causing circulation and ridding the shed of much of it's condensation. Make sure you screen, (metal screen) these vents or you will have a bad rodent problem.

 

More on the actual construction would help especially the floor. A vent or two should work best.
