Can you attach a plastic sheet as a barrier between the roof and contents of the garage. Then obviously leave a gap at the front or back of the garage depending which way the roof slopes

My old council garage had corrugated tin roof, terrible in winter, plastic sheet as dave1293gt. Did nothing to stop condensation, just kept it from dripping on car.
