Client's workshop set up

Highland Pairos · 2006-12-02T23:32:40+00:00

I have a client who wants us to finish and outfit his workshop for him with benches, shelves, cabinets, slat wall, etc. My concern however is that the shop will be in a space with no HVAC. We will insulate it for him and he will use a space heater when he is in there. My concern is going to be the humidity. The shop is located in the Northern Virginia area, summers of 90 degrees and 90% humidity. I have no experience working with a shop that is not climate controlled. I do recall browsing over posts here that mention that airflow is a big factor in keeping tools from rusting away in a humid environment. Does that preclude the use of cabinets for storage? I for one prefer cabinets over open shelves for storage, but will obviously recommend what will be best for his situation. The shop has two windows in the wall opposite the door so he will get some cross flow air movement, at least when it is open.Thanks,SteveP

You must have been talking to Code Enforcement folks!
