My solution: I have a refrigerator in my work shop.
It is working full power and before I start lay-ups,
I open the door of the refrigerator.
Humidity falls soon and you will found refrigerator is full
off snow and ice = water from the air.
The cubic measure of my shop is about 190 m3.
Of cource you can keep your drinks etc there also.
