When installing a metal roof attached to perlins on 24 inch centers as only support on barn with all sides open, will there be condenseation if no vapor barrier or insullation is used?

Will the barn be used for livestock? What kind of moisture will be in the barn? What will the floor be? Todd Miller

I am guessing the space will not be conditioned? How much moisture will be generated as Todd mentioned? If you have 50 head of cattle in that barn (depending on size) you will be making quite a good bit of moisture vapor. Eric Novotny
