...lol!!!

No, I mean a metal shed as opposed to a wooden one? Hub was thinking of getting one as our wooden one is dropping to bits, and he said it'd be for the camping stuff (tents, sleeping bags etc), bikes, lawnmower etc.... but he was wondering whether condensation is a problem? Obviously we need somewhere dry.

Ta, :)

Had one for about 8 years, keep all the chain saws, hedge cutting equipment etc in there. Never had any problems with it. No it does not have condensation. Hope that helps.

I have had one for about 7 years and it has always leaked like a sieve.  Its drier outside.  Maybe the boys put the roof panels upside down or wrong way round or something.  Have to put tarpaulins over every thing.  PamJ

I bought a steel yardmaster shiplap shed last year. Excellent shed but since it doesn't have a base, sealing the shed to the flags proved near impossible. Definately rodent proof but not waterproof. Might suggest looking at the plastic sheds. Costco sells an 8x8 Keter shed that looks very good with its own floor. Do worry about our tent stored in the garage as we have had the odd mouse in there from time to time. I keep permanently baited traps in there now just in case.
