Hi Tim.
As I think you know, timber buildings are the other half of our activities.
Wood is a particularly suitable material for garages, as the timber should draw moisture out of the air, keeping the inside very dry indeed.
Don't attempt to seal the timber; this will only make matters worse.
How recently was the concrete floor laid? Does it have a damp-proof membrane?
Had the weatherboards been allowed to dry thoroughly before use? Tanalising injects a huge amount of water into the timber; we normally leave tanalised boards drying for at least a month in warm weather before using them.
Do the boards lap over the edges of the base?
What is the roofing material?
Feel free to phone or email me. Too late to sell you a building, but I'm happy to help if I can!
