We have a sheet steel garden shed, and with any sun at all it gets

We put up polystryene slabs under the roof, but that was to stop the
condensation dripping down inside in the winter. It does not help with the
problem of the shed getting too hot.


If you're working in or around it, leave the door open.
If you're not in the shed , does it matter how hot it is inside?


It doesn't do paints or garden pesticides much good to be excessively
hot or in strong sunlight. Oxidation and loss of solvent can occur.
