My mother in law has a concrete garage which she had put up a couple of years back.
She gets quite bad condensation and doesn't like storing much in there as it ends up damp if it touches the walls etc.

What's the best way to add some insulation to cut down the condensation?

Cheers

Roof isn't metal - it's the cement sheets.
No water ingress that I can see, the inside of the concrete panels just seem to have condensation on them.
It gets used for keeping the car in, so there's one heat source when the car is put away I suppose.

Will get her to keep the window cracked open and see how that goes.

Seems odd to provided double glazed windows/doors in a single skin concrete construction.

Thanks guys - will try and sort some ventilation out.

I'm guessing if I wanted a nice workshop/bike-cave in the garden I'd be better off going for a decent wooden one?
