Just make sure at those high rh levels you have plenty of wind blowing . Ive had 100% but got like 4 fans blowing a hurricane in there . Never had rot once

You can get smaller units aswell called desiccant dehumidifiers but if you don't know what your doing you will shrink all your skirting boards and door frames ect they are that powerful ..I used to be involved in equipment rentals to the fire and flood restoration company's

Cheers for the tip mate I’ve got really good airflow through the tent and a fan blowing inside, might add a second now you come to mention this.

To much electricity consumption for me.

This week has been bad. I normally run at 37 RH% with a 6ltr dehumidifier.

This week it has risen to mid 50s :-( Not good with two weeks to go!

Glad next week warms up!

Ive never have used anything . I usually have two tower fans . And if shit gets rough ve got two backup 24" square fans that can blow your socks off lol . Point them under the canopy and it will cool my groom down 5-6 degrees for sure

After losing many Oz to rot, I bought a meaco 20ltr dehumidifier. Prob £250 or so, but still going after a few years and really drys the air out, energy efficient too.
