Good question, I guess all I can offer is telling you either seal it up tight with insulation or let it breathe very well. Our garage stays very cool because of the concrete floor but as soon as you leave the doors open on a hot day it's soaking wet. Keeping the inside of the garage on par with the outside should help.I just put up a 24'X40" all steel garage. I don't want to insulate the ceiling. How can I keep the inside from condensation on the inside of the roof?...............................MO
Mine seems to do it when the overnight temps are low, and the warm sun heats the outside suddenly. I put vents on each end, near the peak, but the problem didn't go away. I am wondering if a turbine roof vent or vents in the soffit it would take care of condensation?..........................MOGood question, I guess all I can offer is telling you either seal it up tight with insulation or let it breathe very well.

That's what I'm leaning towards right now, 24'×48" with the trusses extended on half of it. There would be a wall seperating the 2 halves, 1 so I only heat the work area and 2 to keep the dust isolated from the parking side.Another option to go deeper while still using your trusses is to extend the roofline on the back using dimensional lumber. The back roofline will be a little lower than the front, but it will give you plenty of depth. Build your 24 x 24 as a traditional pole building style, and then go back as far as you want with the dimensional. You will have poles every 8-10 feet wide at 24 feet deep, but those are a lot easier to work around than the wall at 24 feet.
mine is 40x40...wish it was bigger
Already have a 32x100 that's getting full, machine shop, paint booth, a couple bays and a work area. Really just building a place to park a few cars to get them out of the other garage and add another work area for smaller jobs.60' X 60' is a good size, but 60' X 100' is pretty much the right size for the hobbyist.
