Is a bare metal roof a giant mistake?
The picture shows the general shed style of the sugar shed I will be reassembling in February. There will be openings at the top of each side wall and at the top of the stove pipe end and at the front of the structure.
I will be putting on more supports on the roof to hold the metal roof.
My question is, even with the openings to let the steam out, will having a bare metal roof as a roof, be a giant mistake and will I have tons of water dripping down on my pans and me?
If I have house wrap in front of the metal roof will that help any?
Thanks.

(The leaves on the left are no longer there partially because it is winter, but mostly the beavers wiped out many of the saplings around the evaporator.)
