Back to my question that you did not answer: Have you spent much time in a
totally metal building?

Several years ago I was in an un insulated metal building during a hail storm. It was noisy beyond belief but remember it was a shop with no insulation and almost everything inside was a hard surface.

As a kid I helped build Quonset huts with my uncle These were metal roofed with wood frames, mostly used for machinery storage. I had a chance to see several of them this last summer and a couple were sway backed. I suspect condensation has caused rot.
