That's not good, have you got any heat at all in there to prevent it?

You'll always get it on a non-insulated garage door. Warming up the garage will make it worse.

Ah, thanks. Better be just a temporary set up.

I couldn't understand why this was happening. ::eh:: ....It's just dawned on this idiot why this didn't happen before. :banghead:

The previous garage I used had a standard aluminium manual door which had a small half inch gap all the way around the outside of the door, thus there was some air flow in and out the structure.

Exactly, which balances the air temp outside and in ( to some degree ) Same thing happens in winter with the heating on, curtains drawn and windows closed. Open a window and it magically goes away :)

It will be better in the summer.
I get it with the compressor condensate in work, theres always a lot more in the winter when the pipes cool down more.

I've left the back door of the garage open today. The roller door is a snug fit all a round, so there's no ventilation at all. :$

Oh well, have be for short term use only.
