bullcross13 58 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I converted a metal garage in to kennels with out side run and the roof is condensating and dripping all over does any one no a cheap way to stop it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithie 2,443 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 put the roof on so its higher on 1 side and it might run and drip outside if the roof is not flush with the walls, i would expect some to drip inside still all the same... if its a metal garage how will you keep it cool in summer?

Rebel 833 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 What about felting the inside of the roof? Probably get a roll of felt for between 20-30. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Your gonna get condensation whatever you do if theres no insulated cavity, especially with metal cos it cant breathe. When you sort the roof, it will probably condense on the walls then.. I don't think there is a quick, cheap fix bud Wooden roof for starters? Cheap 20mm shuttering ply? Edited to say, could you not fit a smaller kennel/box inside, at least then the dog wouldn't be getting directly dripped on.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
