why does it rain in my shed
I have a wooden walled shed that has a corrigated clear plastic roof on a angle. Drips seem to constantly form on the underside of the plastic and it
seems to 'rain' constantly in my shed. This thoroughly annoys my forks, spades, tubs of ant killer, and the Suffolk Punch
considerably.
Why is this and what can I do about it? I am sure is condensation.

Sounds like it, plastic chills pretty quickly so condensation is likely. Not sure about a solution though, perhaps more ventilation would help or buy
some moisture absorbing granules in sacks or line the underside of the roof with bubble wrap?

Its something known as dew point formation.
Basicaly its the tempreture differential between the outside and inside causes the condensation on the inside of the sheets.
better ventalation or a dehumdifier or insulate the roof to eliminate the cold bridge.

Brill idea, you can buy it by the roll, just staple it on.

spray foam will insulate it nicely and sort the 'rain' out.
