Garage
Garage condensation....help...

Ok...

I've got a nice steel insulated garage with zero issues, it's got insulated walls and roof, never had any problems.

To capture more space we closed in one of the carports on one side. A concrete slab was laid, the walls were insulated, but not the roof.

In the winter it's practically like it's raining in the newly captured space...but bone dry in the main building.

Any ideas on my next step? At this point I've got a project car in there and parts. I've laid a tarp on the concrete, and covered the car and parts with tarps.

Should I insulate the ceiling as well? Or would it just get wet?

Note that we didn't tear down the wall in between the main building and the newly "made" enclosed carport. Both have about the same amount of airflow in them, essentially a fair amount as I don't have things really well sealed up.

Looking to solve this issue before next winter.

The picture shows the original main building, and the "carport" prior to it being enclosed.

thanks,
Eric
