It's almost spring and it's time for me to start thinking about insulating my recently built pole building. I have read that with a steel roof the condensation can build up and drip onto the insulation? What steps can I take to stop this from happening?

My plan for finishing the ceiling is corrugated white metal attached to the trusses with pink fiberglass insulation above that. Unless you all recommend a better alternative :D

Here are some pics:

Soffit vents and a ridge vent for roofs will cure the condensation issue. Before insulating the roof rafters, install rafter baffles to keep an open air space assuming you are insulating against the underside of the roof itself. Insulation pays for itself in a short time.
