Keep my garage moisture free

Hey all,

I had a metal shop put up a little over a year ago. Here it is about 58 degrees and raining. I’m noticing condensation inside (I figured I would, read about it some a while ago). I’ve always had the intention on insulating my shop, guess I should do it sooner rather than later.

As far as that is concerned, I’m not sure which insulation is the best/most cost effective. It’s your typical metal garage, with square tubing as the frame wrapped in panels of sheet metal.

I’ve read about using foam boards and sealing the ends with some kind of gap filling spray foam. When these buildings are sold, the company offers a type of “bubble wrap” insulation. I was told to stay clear if this.

I’ll most likely start with the roof and work my way down, with the goal of doing it as cheap (but effective) as possible.

Any recommendations on insulation material (and techniques for the job) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! And merry Christmas!

Start using that big fan sitting in the corner, then a wood stove when needed. Works well.
