I purchased a metal garden shed some months ago.
The condensation is horrific. The ceiling is dripping water and everything in the shed will eventually rust. I tried leaving the door ajar but it makes no difference.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might rectify this problem?
Many thanks.

Put two vent grilles in it, one high one low.
A powerful fan would help if left on during cold weather as long as you have a power point of course.
I've had this problem in the past.. You need some polystyrene sheet fixed to the inside of the roof. That stops moisture coming into contact with the cold steel.
You should be able to buy sheets from most builders merchants. 12mm would probably do but 25mm's easier to work with.
P.S.
Use a sharp kitchen knife for cutting (not serated unless you want an indoor snowstorm of PS beads!). Or a hot wire if you've got one.
