Good ventilation.
Heating the garage.
Sealing it and a dehumidifier.
The first one is usually the cheapest and most effective.

If its not intentionally insulated then ventilate it well. Any sources of damp? Tumble dryer, leak?

I must admit the roof is not the best it's old and needs replacing and thats next years job,
I would like to replace the old roof with a steel insulated panel type but its just stopping the damp for this year

All you can do is ventilation unless you want the heat perminatly !
It's a right pain, if you use a propane heater stop!

I have this problem, every time the temperature rises when the moisture content is a high percentage. I use a dehumidifier, and a greenhouse heater
placed very near the unit. Greenhouse heater are very low consumption and just keeps the unit working more efficiently. If you try and use a
dehumidifier at very low temperatures a) it will freeze up b) not be very efficient. I plumbed the drain outside to save it cutting out when full.
Don't operate it at all below freezing. I have used this setup for years and stops the kit and tools rusting.
