we are looking for a good steel garage manufacturer.
Where did you get your steel garage from?
How is condensation in your garage? People say that steel garages can be like dripping caves...
Has anyone had experience with garage ramps?
Looking forward to your feedback.

We have a 9-meter (30 feet) long large-span steel garage from Siebau.
We ordered the anti-condensation coating for the ceiling at the same time to prevent dripping, and after just over a year, we haven’t noticed a single drop so far. Friends of ours also have a Siebau garage without the anti-condensation treatment, and they reportedly get dripping on the car about 3-4 times a year during unfavorable weather. So, I wouldn’t call it a dripping cave.
However, there is some humidity in the garage. Last autumn, I left my battery case in the garage for a few days, and it rusted quite quickly, so I moved it back into the utility room right away. But I don’t think this would have been any different in a concrete garage during autumn, since in a concrete garage the water from the car cannot drain away. In terms of air circulation and water drainage, I believe the steel garage is actually superior to the precast concrete garage.
Inside the garage and over the foundation, we had standard paving stones installed. At the edging stones, which are visible both outside and inside, moisture tends to seep inward during rain, so you need to be careful not to place anything sensitive to moisture there. In general, moisture-sensitive items should not be stored directly on the floor.
Another somewhat negative point is the mounting options for garden tools, light switches, bike racks, and so on. If you don’t want to buy what I consider the overpriced accessories from garage manufacturers, you have to be creative without drilling through the outer shell. I built a false wall on one side using OSB panels so I could use more affordable standard mounting products.
Overall, we are quite satisfied. It will be interesting to see how it holds up in 20 years.

We laid standard paving stones inside the garage and over the foundation. At the edging stones, which are visible both inside and outside, moisture seeps inward a bit during rain, so you have to be careful not to place anything sensitive to moisture there. Generally, moisture-sensitive items shouldn’t be kept on the floor.
Another somewhat negative point is the mounting options for garden tools, light switches, bicycle racks, etc. If you don’t want to buy the, in my opinion, overpriced accessories from the garage manufacturers, you have to get creative without drilling through the exterior cladding. On one side, I built a support wall made of OSB panels so I could use the cheaper standard hanging products.
Overall, we are quite satisfied. Let’s see how it looks in 20 years. Thank you for your detailed report.
If I may ask, what did you pay Siebau?
We are planning to build the garage with a concrete slab.
