You need to be thinking about heat, ventilation and insulation.

For some reason seems to be fairly dry at minute there was puddle of water in corner from door (that now sorted) since dryed up no condensation on walls
See what happens when it rains maybe no damp in air at minute

Those bolt together types always do that, my friend insulated his and fitted vents and heating to solve it. I had a 5 car one when I bought my house, we knocked it down and did a normal build over it.

I think he glued foil backed insulation like celotex to the inside of it. He also added buttons on the outside and wood clad it but that was more to hide the pebble dash.

Can rain run in under the door if it's sloped? Would it benefit from a drainage channel?
