Build yourself a timber one, double skinned, with the outer skin wrapped in breathable waterproof membrane and then clad outside of that. You only need the insulation if you intend to heat it, other than that timber breathes so no internal condensation.
I can safely say my shed never gave the condensation my garage did. Since I had it extended, it’s now insulated and plasterboarded and works really well. But was still having drops due to the cold concrete floor. But since I put the flooring down early this year, this winter I have no signs of condensation at all! So insulate all walls and ceiling and add a decent pvc/vinyl tile floor would be my recommendation
I tried this flooring method only to find puddles and moisture under it created during a sharp change in the weather. Seemingly the non breathable pvc/vinyl covering only trapped the moisture underneath it creating a slow damp release throughout the garage. I’ve since removed it and resorted to using a dehumidifier and fan heater when needed. I’d like to rethink this in spring, which type/ brand name of flooring did you find worked?
I have the proper click together garage tiles and my floor was always damp under when I put the foam type tiles down. With this Flor, there isn’t any sign at all.
. If you put a raised timber floor over the concrete pad upon which such a ‘shed’ is built then there’s no dampness on the floor or under any flooring tiles that are put down.
Thanks sounds like a good recommendation Have you lifted it mid winter to inspect it for any signs of moisture?
Yes the early bird catches the worm everytime in my book, sorted all mine a few weeks ago, also have draught Guinness stocked for this Christmas. Have a fab time.

Nope. The old foam ones did, but there are sold ins. The have a car on one side that won’t allow tiles to move, so any bubbling would be obvious. You allow a small expansion around anyway, like a laminate flooring
That was/is my last resort, as the ceiling isn’t mega high, the floor entrance isn’t flat so adding a lift isn’t preferential
Paid the last visit of the year to MR and collected my 748R. The workshop has done one hell of a job. Andy
Got my mtb out for first time in years to ride to the golf club. It’s about half hr walk so maybe 2 miles max. But mostly uphill!! That was tough!! good 5 mile walk swinging a stick, now having celebratory beer before getting back on the threader and heading home. What an adventure!
Went to the gym, last decent session before the gluttony starts. Then spent about 2 hours washing and polishing the car. Off to the neighbours for Christmas drinks in a minute, then out for a Thai with the family.
