Hi guys , could anyone help please
I fitted a new garage roof last summer , I expected a condensation problem with steel roofing sheets so I went with a OSB deck with a rubber roof , all great until the recent cold weather , the osb is wet , not happy !!!
Initial thoughts were put a dehumidifier in asap , long term have any of you guys got round this problem ?
Thank you in advance

I've had all sorts of condensation problems.

I now run a dehumidifier about 8 hours a day and all good.

Thank you , it seemed a lot easier than fitting a false ceiling, vapour barrier etc etc .
Any particular model , size etc

I bought a Clarke one from Machine Mart as you could set the % etc (so I didn't dry out the whole world hehe), but it didn't last long.

I'm now using a really old one (unbranded) that does the job brilliantly. I have some humidity gauges set up so I can monitor what's going on.
