Metal roof on shed

I'm going to be constructing a metal-sided storage shed, and would also like to use a metal roof. I hear differing opinions on condensation and subsequent dripping from a metal roof. This structure is for storage only and will not be heated. It will use trusses, have a concrete floor and will be used in part to store a garden tractor. There will be moisture present. I intend to incorporate soffit venting, and venting in the roof itself, whether a ridge vent or cans is still not decided. Will I need to concern myself with moisture issues and if so, how should I best deal with it?

As long as you have it vented like you're saying, I would not anticipate any issues with condensation. Todd Miller
