metal shed hay storage- your experiences?

Hi all. We are about to order a new shed for storing hay and other stuff. Trying to decide between wood and metal. Has anyone got any experience of storing hay in a metal shed? Does it get damp at all? The one we have currently is wood.

Thanks!
 
No experience but I would be concerned about condensation in damp, cold weather so I personally would go with wood. We are currently considering moving all the rabbit bits from the garage to a shed as the garage needs replacing and we'll be getting a wooden one.
 
The house I have just moved from had a metal shed in the garden. It had an asbesdos roof (ancient) and a concrete base.

Totally waterproof. There was a titchy bit of damp round the bottom but I kept the hay off the floor on pallets and shelves and it was absolutely fine.

It was well ventilated with three good sized mesh only windows which I am sure helped.
