Metal building condensation (help please)!

We are going to apply insulation to the bare metal interior of the roof. We have installed vent bricks so as the roof space above the ceiling is able to breathe and will put thick insulation on top of the ceiling when it is fitted.

Hopefully there will be very little moisture in the roofspace after we have finished.

SteelMaster building sent me the following files on insulating there steel buildings and installing drywall. :thumbsup:

I see there vinyl backed insulation seems to act as a vapor barrier and insulation that is pinned to steel structure.

I put up a metal building 30x80with a 22ft roof, we insulated part of the building and all the roof, with the vinyl covered insulated fiberglass.
I am insulating the shop end of the building, I am using R30 even without the vapor barrier and covering there is no frost build up on the sections I have insulated, you can actually see the imprint of the insulation when it gets cold, frost inside and out.
