At carport central we provide our customers with a wide selection of pre engineered metal buildings.

Metal carport roof condensation.

Could i use clear caulking on screws on roof top to seal. The condensation occurs most commonly on the roof as the warmest most moisture laden air rises to roof level. The cold metal in contact with the warm air means that water droplets condensation forms on the inside surface of the shed roof. The metal roof heats up quickly in the sun.

From garages and carports to horse barns and clear span structures we have it all. As it cools it can t hold as much moisture. I have a 25 year old aluminum car port. Warm wet air rises and meets the cold roof and cools.

Have you ever been under a metal roof that had condensation on the bottom side of it. Essentially condensation occurs at night when the temperature inside a building is warmer than outside. Only at night the dripping maybe condensation comes down the frame and falls on the car. Ok now we understand a bit how the condensation in metal sheds happens.

Worse if the roof is over your shop carport barn or self storage unit you have to worry about what damage it is doing to the contents of these buildings. That excess moisture ends up as drops of condensation on the roof. It is quite annoying to have the condensation falling on you like rain. It doesn t leak at all when it rains.

Overnight when my car is parked water drips down wherever there is a screw connecting the top to the frame.
