Built a nice 24x30 Garage two years ago, with the works, for 23K. That's where the 54 will stay until spring. One contractors said he couldn't do it for less than 55K right now. Now really Looking hard at Metal Garage on gravel. Just worried about condensation dripping all over.

We put up an American steel Quonset building 15 yrs ago...We get a lot of moisture overnight.. yes some condensation. Really not bad overall. It could be reduced or eliminated if you added synthetic roofing paper on the inside. $150 for 1000sq ft roll...3 rolls would cover inside 24x40...

Curious do you know your average humidity and how did you attach the paper?

Building here has come to a screeching halt and operating mills and raw logs all Asia bound. We get 70=99% humidity due to being yards from ocean and feet from big river.
