I have a question regarding a detached garage and what I can do to reduce the humidity in it. Its unheated and uninstalled with a broken concrete floor.
We live in Maritime Canada with cold winters and short humid summers. I don't intend to insulate/heat the area and only a very large de-humidifier would help.
My first thought is of course to repair/replace the floor. Would placing a vapor barrier on the walls and floor help?
thanks

if you just worried about the humidity, then get the air moving in there to get out... like a ventilator for the attic(assuming it is all one big shell, no ceiling..
As Jim said, get air circulation. Bring a can in out of the rain or snow and you get a lot of moisture. You need air circulation first.
If there's a lot of salt on the floor from the winter it will attract the moisture in the air. Try hosing down the floor and squeegee the water out.
