New stables - wood or metal?

[soloequestrian]

Thinking about putting in another two or three stables. I currently have a wooden block of three and it's needed a fair bit of work to keep it functioning, including re-roofing with metal sheet recently. I'm wondering if I should just go full metal from the start for the new ones. They're only used for feeding/handling - the horses are out 24/7 all year, so I could use something like this and gates/ fencing to divide.
Any views or experiences? Are metal buildings very damp for instance?
TIA!

Metal, I think is cold in Winter (and damp) and very hot in summer. Personally I’d go for wood or maybe block

I’ve got one of my stables wood with metal roof and it’s boiling in summer. I only bring in to tack up, farrier, vets etc and even then it’s just so hot.

Is brick not an option?

If they are only used for very short periods it probably won't matter too much. Id love brick or block but thats not an option!
My wooden ones are actually ok now that they have a big hedge grown up behind them over the years which keeps the sun off so they no longer heat up like ovens. I also chose no clear roof panels which has also helped enormously. We had clear panels last time thinking of maximising light but it also made them unbearbly hot.
