can anyone recomend a 12v fan?

I can only seem to find small 10cm ones.

how long would a fan work hooked upto a car battery before it needed charging again?

i work for a timber frame company who build all sorts of buildings for the construction industry.

A method we use in commercial buildings for the roof is a timber deck which is covered in a visqueen sheet with insulation on top of this. the rest of the construction depends on the roof finish you require, normally timber rafters would be fixed to the timber deck insulation placed between them, then plywood for the felt to be fixed too.

Walls are also best insulated but there are many ways this can be done and it all depends on the type of external finish you have.

Hope this helps you, if anyone needs a little help i can provide some drawings showing the type of construction you have and the best way to deal with the construction just pm me.

I have seen advertised a bag that is opened and the car parked onto it.  Desicant is placed inside the vehicle and the bag closed up airtight.  It is reusable and far more economical than heating bills which is needed to change the dew point inside your garage.  Not convenient if the auto is in and out frequently.

I have a fairly recent oak-framed garage that was custom-built by local builders. It is clad with feather-edged larch and has a Tyvek lining (a breathable roof underfelt). The roof is lined with a modern insulation in lieu of underfelt, which is quite thin and a bit like bubble-wrap with foil on each side. There is no heating and we are fairly exposed on top of a hill with winds from all directions - it is North Norfolk. Have no problems with condensation.
