Greetings!
I am looking to properly ventilate a large uninsulated 60x80 pole barn with a gravel floor that suffers from moisture issues due to the gravel floor, so it's not ideal for auto parking and storage. It's located in the midwest, so lots of temperature swings in the transitional months which covers everything inside with dew.
It has a suspended steel ceiling about 25 ft high that is open to the attic above around the parimiter via a ~12 inch gap, and a central 6x6 access hatch that is currently closed. The attic has the typical ridge vent and lower vents under the two overhangs of the roof. No other vents or fans are present unless I open a vehicle access door or turn a floor fan on.
How would you make due with the moisture coming out of the earth. (yes I would love to slab it eventually with vapor barrier) but until that time, what can I do?
I have ideas, but thought I would ask the community to make sure I head in the right direction.
Thanks!
