Pole barn insulation HELP

[Lindacrelin]

Can you guys post some pictures of your pole barn insulation work? My husband is currently insulating the garage and is finding moisture behind the insulation. He did spray foam the edges but is wondering why the moisture is so high in the garage causing condensation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Not really enough to go on. What kind of insulation was used, and how much? Where is the building? Is it heated and/or cooled? If so, with what? What if any vapor barrier is in place?

Moisture issues could be caused by a vapor barrier issue, excess moisture in the building, a non-vented heat source creating moisture as a byproduct of combustion, etc.

any kind of vapor barrier in place, either under the exterior skin or on the interior face, to prevent moisture from reaching the insulation at all?

Too, 'backyard' as your location doesn't help at all. Proper construction methods - especially for moisture control - differ greatly for different states / regions. You'll get better answers if you at least narrow it down to 'New England' or 'gulf coast' or 'TN hills'

A location would help in getting an answer I believe.
