Hello all, forgive me I'm a novice in terms of building.

Have a large 5x6m shed. Using it more but very damp (92% just measured apparently). Leading to quick rusting etc. Decided I should look at what options I have. Unfortunately it's not something I can spend thousands on. It's not a premade, the roof has been a nightmare with leaking and patch works, ideally it would be totally rebuilt on concrete but £££ wise that can't be done.

-concrete: would be ideal, but its not at all level, sloping floor. Ground is very firm. Access is going to be tough for a digger.

Any other options as something I could do to improve this? Worth laying a membrane and getting someone to lay sloped concrete? Any other solutions on this?

edit: have brought a 17ltr dehumidifier but think it might be a bit much here! If not I can easily install fan circulation.

Thanks guys.

No point doing anything till roof is fixed.

on that note I've just been looking at EPDM single sheet. The felt has had 1000 patchworks done on it and it's never good. However the roof is not at all flat anymore so going to have to see if this is an issue with EPDM. The shed slightly leaned but has now been secured and no one wants to replace the whole sloped roof.
 
The floor looks like its damp bare earth or sand is the a damp membrane under it.

Andrew, I cannot help with the dampness - however on the shelf next to the yellow spirit level hanging on the wall is what looks like a right angled driver/tool.
What is it and what make/model? Does it work well?
Cheers.
