Default Damp garages

What's the best way of keeping damp/condensation from happening in the garage over the winter?

Cheers, Karl!!

ideally a dehumidifier but wont be cheap running id guess, a constant flow of air through garage would help..

The cheapest way if you have electric hooked up in youre garage is a fan to circulate the air.A drafty garage is better than a near airtight one.Regards,Micky

Thanks for the replies, i think i'm gonna get some of those caravan dehumidifiers off ebay, i've started opening the garage door a bit while i'm in to get a bit of air flow through too.

Cheers, Karl
