Picked hi-flow vents over traditional ridge vents for my container roof last summer

After 3 months of watching condensation build up inside my workshop container in Houston, I swapped out the ridge vents for three 6-inch hi-flow vents and the airflow difference is night and day, but now I'm fighting with dust getting in through the screens anyone else run into that?

Same thing happened to me with my shed in Dallas. The ridge vents just couldn't keep up with the humidity down here. I went with four 6-inch hi-flow vents and the air moves way better now but the dust is a constant battle. Had to pull the screens and rinse them out twice last month alone. I'm thinking about trying those fine mesh screens you can get at the hardware store, maybe they'll block more of the junk.

Oh I heard the finer mesh helps a lot but you gotta clean it even more often.
