I dont think it would be an issue. I used to have a condenser dryer in an apartment a few years ago, never had much condensation. Leaving the door open should give it good ventilation.
It developing a fault, overheating at setting the shed on fire would be the biggest danger, but the same could happen if it was in your kitchen!
I just bought a drying shed, where the clothes can be hung and then dry in the vented shed sides/no door, felt roof. Only €236, 4ft by 4ft. No good however if u needed the clothes in a hurry.
Interested to hear that about the efficiency of both types of driers landlord. I was aware of the difference in the initial cost. I am thinking of getting a drier to put in my (block) shed too windo77. I was contemplating getting a traditional type because I had a condenser one for about the past 8 years and although a good make, I don't think that clothes every properly dried in it, unless it was on for ages. I was thinking I'd have to drill a hole in the shed wall to allow the vent to pass through it, as the shed has no windows......maybe I should just get a window put in the shed......I've just moved into the house so I can put it on the every expanding list of things to do!
I have a condenser in our shed (8x6) for the past 12 months. Used on a regular basis. Never had any problems with it with regard to overheating or anything. One thing I did notice was there is a lot more creepy crawlies in the shed now than before I put the dryer in there so obviously the extra heat in there must be attracting them.
On another note, if you do ever had a fault that would require someone calling to repair don't mention that its in a shed as I'm sure this could void any warrenty that you might have. I don't think manufacturers had sheds in mind for normal day to day use of the dryers. Bring it indoors if you can during the repair call.
Can i ask is it a big job to set this up? Ive a large wooden shed i would like to put a drier in. What do i have to do to get the electricity sorted? Clueless!
