Maybe there should be a topic category on sugar shacks?

Anyway, we are preparing to break ground on a new sugar shack and we are trying to decide between metal and traditional shingle roof.

I like the look of metal and it is easier to install. Also, the snow won't accumulate. But I am afraid of the condensation. Typical metal roofs have condensation and drip issues anyway, never mind dumping hundreds of gallons of moisture into the air. Yes I can ventalate but I am afraid it just won't be enough.

Can anyone who has built a sugar shack with metal roof give me their opinion, and please also give a rough idea of your setup (size of building, size of evaporator, and venting).

Thanks a bunch!!
