Northeast Oklahoma, summertime high temps, high humidity. Shop is wood pole barn, metal siding and roof. Concrete floor. Absolutely no insulation. Never, ever any condesation. Neighbor told me about other metal buildings with moisture problems when I built mine several years ago, but i've never had any problems at all. However, it faces north, has 11' sliding doors on north and south ends that don't seal real well from the wind. Consequently, the air is exchanged often in the building. That could be the reason why no moisture problems since the wind never stops blowing here (or so it seems!!)

On the other hand, it's darn cold in there in the winter and extremely hot in the summer. The metal on the west wall is warm in the winter when the sun's out. I would insulate if for no other reason than it will make it easier to heat in the winter if you work in the building.

Good luck,
