For everyone that has a pole building with an attic, how did you ventilate the attic? Or at all?

I'm in the process of putting the ceiling in now.

I have 1/2" foam under the roof tin to keep it from sweating. I'm still kind of worried about humidity up there. I'm thinking a gable end exhaust fan, but then I need some vents to let outside air in. Run the fan on a humidistat in the winter and a theromostat in the summer.

There are currently no vents at all.

Ideas?????:headscrat

Unless your eaves are "finshed' with soffitts I don't think you'll have anything to worry about... there's plenty of air flow as is. I was thinking of installing and opening window in each gable end... to improve air flow during the summer... I store stuff up there and it's pretty hot in the summer.

My 30X50 never sweats, either. I cool my shop in the summer and heat it in the winter. I have a combo of inulstaion in the ceiling... blown and batt.
