Have a large, 16' x 8', shed and I've noticed a bit of damp.
It's not used much at this time of year so ventilation might be a problem and will look at fitting a couple of vents.
One thing I was thinking of is putting an electric heater in and running it off a timer.
Aldi have one for £15 and thought it might be worth a go.
Anyone done anything similar?

Might as well burn tenners as put a heater in there, unless it is so well insulted as to stay warm all the time.

OTOH, ventilation helps, IME.

Why not fit a small extractor fan - something like those 12v ones that cool computer cabinets?

I'd say vent it too - and check that it is watertight. It's pointless trying to a shed.
