   I had not considered that, but most metal buildings around here are   
   insulated.  Sheds tend not to be. If its an issue several sheets   
   styrofoam, and a spray can or 3 of 3M 77 spray adhesive should fix it   
   for the most part.   
      
   Humidity is pretty low here most of the year, but we do sometimes get   
   morning dew.  I'll keep an eye on it.

   I have a tarp attached to the lower side of one corrugated roof's PT wood   
   purlins that helps, as does plastic over the stored equipment. The   
   condensing condition we have but maybe you don't is warm humid air after a   
   cold spell, as in 20F to 50F in a few hours. Dew doesn't seem an issue, it   
   doesn't form on covered surfaces that don't cool by radiating heat to into   
   space. It didn't condense on my unpainted sawmill when the grass outside the   
   canopy was wet.
