This is why I need to put covers on my electronics in the shed

Here's the issue with condensation and the reason that I Need these little roofs, these ceilings to go over my electronics. You can see here that water has dripped down off the ceiling and landed on this piece of hardboard. There's also a little bit of water there on near the battery terminal, but I don't think that's too bad. and I think what happens is the underside of the ceiling.

The roof gets moisture on it, which turns to ice overnight because it's been below zero overnight. And then the ice melts during the day and drips down. And you can see from here that the temperature reading is saying 0 but I suspect it's actually, uh, colder than that.

    Use a dehumidifier during day or over 5c
    That's what I do in my shed along with a heater in front of it to stop it from freezing

    Usually you have plastic under your roof that the condensation can drip down on and then travel with gravity to the outside of the shed.

    Non wooden sheds require internal insulation, it’s worse with metal sheds. An easy fix once you understand the issue though
