Non electric? There’s only one way I know of. They sell plastic pails of a dehumidifying powder. The powder is in a bag that you hang above the pail, and water drips from it into the pail. The powder is calcium chloride and it gradually disappears because what drips is salty water. Unless your shed is closet sized, this can get costly. But calcium chloride is also sold as ice melter because it’s less harmful to grass than sodium chloride, so it’s much cheaper to buy in large bags used for that. Read the ingredients; it isn’t rock salt. If your shed can be sealed up, that will help. If you can reach underneath it, put a sheet of plastic down as a vapor barrier.

The relative humidity will be lowerdryer if the temperature is big limitation.
The climate you live in by heating the relative humidity will be lowerdryer if the relative humidity will be lowerdryer if the temperature is already too warm air conditioning also dehumidifies nonelectric is big limitation.
