I have an Asgard steel bike store that's great aside from the occasional condensation build up when bikes are not put away bone dry. Any advice as to how to prevent this? So far some vents seem the only option, seen suggestions about ventilation under a wooden floor but its a fully enclosed metal box so changing floor won't work. Also, an electric dehumidifier would doubtless work but the up front and ongoing running costs, plus space it would take up make me think it a little OTT for what is a minor issue.
Any simple tips for how I could help keep things dry?
A caravan de-humidifier from halfords? Basically a big tub of the crystals you get in a new pair of shoes, telly, etc.
some bags of dessicant gel? If it really is only an occasional issue.
anything effective is likely to involve cutting multiple holes in either walls or roof to allow an air flow though.

Never tried but look ok, [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005MZ1EJE/ref=mh_3593776031_dp_bst_1?pi=SL125_SX112_CR0,0,112,125 ]Link[/url]
Those look good for my small area, worth a try, thanks.
I've been meaning to try one of these, ventilation when the sun shines so humidity outside should be lower...

Fit a couple of metal vent plates and a couple of 12v PC fans?
