I am lucky enough to have just had a 6 metre by 12 metre garage built for me. It has a concrete pad, three steel bays, with timber frame and shiplap walls, insulated, with a vapour barrier and lined. The roof is steel with 40mm insulation and it has an insulated sectional double door and a side door.
Other than a few gaps it wasn't ventilated at all. I have put in four six inch vents in the apex of the roof. I now realise that I should also have some sort of ventilation towards the bottom of the walls to create a bit of an air flow. I notice that the head of the strimmer has mould on the grass and if I open the doors on days when it has warmed up outside then the cars get covered in condensation.
Does anyone know how much ventilation I should put in, or is it better to have a dehumidifier running or a fan?
Thanks for any advice.
