Default Garage Roof Condensation.

The corrugated steel of my garage roof collects alot of condensation this
time of year. This drips down and makes the contents of the garage damp.
Has anyone suggestions or solutions they have installed to combat this? I
thought of polystyrene sheet insulation, anyone know of a supplier of large
sheets near Nottingham?

Cheers
Keith

Builder's merchant? I just bought some sheets of 8ftx4ft 50mm
polystyrene sheet from Travis Perkins. About £11 each, IIRC.

My mate installed two humidity controlled fans one at either end of the
gable (?) of his garage. His condensation was appearing on polythene coating
on the insulation wedged between the roof timbers. When triggered the fans
pulled the damp air out and that prevented the condensation forming.
