metal shed
4 Answers
I purchased a metal garden shed some months ago.
The condensation is horrific. The ceiling is dripping water and everything in the shed will eventually rust. I tried leaving the door ajar but it makes no difference.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might rectify this problem?
Many thanks.

You should be able to buy sheets from most builders merchants. 12mm would probably do but 25mm's easier to work with.
P.S.
Use a sharp kitchen knife for cutting (not serated unless you want an indoor snowstorm of PS beads!). Or a hot wire if you've got one.
