R.A.W 1,987 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.. good shout bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 27,132 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi mate, There is a sheet we use regularly on council garages and livestock sheds etc, which is an anti condensing sheet, it has a type of felt adhered to the under side which traps the condensation ( it can take 1 litre per 1m2), this takes all of the water to the eaves and it is burnt off at this line so it discharges out of the building.. There not too expensive and you could straight swap them with no insulation you need ventilation still.. Don't insulate between the purlins it will still condensate on the purlins... I'll try and find a link for the sheets for you, they're around £10.00m2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
