The temperature of the metal is equal to or less than the inside dew point. You have 3 options:
1. Insulate the structure so there is no exposed metal. This is what keeps refrigeration pipes from sweating inside buildings. The insulation must be air tight, not just the pink fiberglass stuff.
2. Lower the the dew point in the building. This is done by either removing humidity (using a large dehumidifier or desiccant system) or adding heat. Both are expensive.
3. In Texas I think option 3 might be best. Ventilate the building so that it does not stay colder when it warms up outside during the day. You could install a couple of ventilation fans that move air in or out of the structure.

cause of the heat on the inside of the building and the cold outside its like getting a drink at a restaraunt

ALL METAL BUILDINGS SWEAT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE VARIANCE OF OUTSIDE AND INSIDE TEMP.

because they do , its simple condensation…..it happens
