shed condensation???

km79 · 2011-03-06 17:43:01

got new wooden shed on Thursday. it is lined with a breathable black membrane to prevent damp. i noticed today beads of water on some of the membrane at the rear of shed. there is no dampness on outside. is this normal?

it's probably not a very breathable membrane

try putting a vent near the top of one of the gables that should stop it

yeah probably just condensation especially because of the weather we've had lately

it may become a problem if it becomes an excess amount of condensation
such as rusting tools and stuff to that effect

if you stick in a 2 small vents (one on each gable) it'll take away 95% of the vapour in the shed and preserve your tools too
