Metal Carport Roof Condensation

I have a 25 year old aluminum car port.

Metal carport roof condensation.

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. That excess moisture ends up as drops of condensation on the roof. Only at night the dripping maybe condensation comes down the frame and falls on the car.

The cold metal in contact with the warm air means that water droplets condensation forms on the inside surface of the shed roof. As it cools it can t hold as much moisture. Overnight when my car is parked water drips down wherever there is a screw connecting the top to the frame. Could i use clear caulking on screws on roof top to seal.

It is quite annoying to have the condensation falling on you like rain. The metal roof heats up quickly in the sun. Warm wet air rises and meets the cold roof and cools. Ok now we understand a bit how the condensation in metal sheds happens.

The condensation occurs most commonly on the roof as the warmest most moisture laden air rises to roof level. At carport central we provide our customers with a wide selection of pre engineered metal buildings. And with precise engineering and custom designs our pre engineered steel structures can fulfill any residential commercial or agricultural need. 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.

Picture a cloud of moisture floating overhead between the rafters.
