make sure you get decent airflow thru the shed, and keep stuff off the floor

Solar mate, Buy a large bag of salt and put it in a deep bowl, and place the bowl in the middle of the floor, this will absorb the dampness into the bowl after a few days.

During the day time open the hut door for a few hours this will allow the clean air to circulate the inside of your hut.

Depending how much spare time you have to do it, you can always build a wooden slat floor about 1/2" above the original. This will aid air circulation and get your stuff off the floor!

If you are going to store your gear for long periods between sessions, wrapping it in plastic can help (just make sure it is totally dry before doing so).

Double line your shed (including the roof) with some board and put insulation between the outer and inner walls while you do it. Not only will this keep the damp out but it will also hopefully keep the thieving gits out that target sheds!
