We built a FBI shed a couple of years ago. We have concrete in one end, gravel in the other.. The way ours was built, we had to add about a 10 inches of road pack to get it up to level. The first winter, after we built it, the roof dripped like crazy. Before we dumped the gravel in, we put down a real heavy plastic tarp. We then carefully spread the road pack over the tarp, and compacted it. The next winter, after doing that and putting a vapor barrier under the concrete, the condensation forming under the roof, was reduced substantially. You might also consider installing some type of power vent, up high, in the end. Perhaps a "Big Ass" type ceiling fan might also work to circulate air.
