[QUOTE="tom4018, post: 1470813, member: 55"] We built a shop this year and in this nasty weather the humidity in it has bees 55-60%. I got a lot of tools that I would like to keep from rusting. Maybe I am being over concerned but would rather be cautious. It is a pole construction building with fiberglass insulation in the roof and the double bubble on the walls. I don't plan on heating it full time but am planning on adding more insulation to the walls for sure. At that point I may try to keep it above freezing. Would running a dehumidifier help? The articles I read on them say the efficiency of the standard really drop off below 50 degrees. This one says it works down to 34 degrees : [url=https://www.amazon.com/EcoSeb-DD122EA-CLASSIC-Desiccant-Dehumidifier-Ionizer/dp/B00KHJICC2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8]https://www.amazon.com/EcoSeb-DD122EA-C ... op?ie=UTF8[/url] It is a 30 x 40 with 12 foot ceilings. Concrete has vapor barrier under it. [/QUOTE]
