I have just done my first workout in my new garden gym. I used my fan heater to get the temperature up to around 12°C which I find about right for a workout. However, the humidity was around 88% which is far too high. There was a lot of condensation on the windows.
My plan was to buy this Rhino AC9000 Portable Air Conditioner & Dehumidifier 2.65kW 240V - https://www.toolstation.com/rhino-ac9000-portable-air-conditioner-dehumidifier/p45462?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dc&pcrid=560397125702&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=Cj0KCQiAzfuNBhCGARIsAD1nu-8YZy0q_ygNEEUHec94BGm9xia2MvhO0CJyZwYS04BGFDljb2SCFqgaAunTEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
but I thought I'd check to see if this was the best option to keep the humidity under control or if there are better ideas? I fancied the air con as well, to use in mid summer.
The gym is 68mm wood sides . The floor and roof are insulated. It is approx 17Sqm.
Do you have to keep a dehumidifier on all the time, or can I just switch it on when training? From the little I've read, they take 12 hours plus to get to the right humidity, meaning it looks like you just leave them switched on all the time? Pretty expensive!
