How to seal the gaps in a metal garage?

hello all,

 

looking for advice on how to seal up the gaps in our metal garage, to keep out bugs and dust, in a way that won’t cause rust. Any advice appreciated. What you can see in the photos: 

1. The centre of the ceiling

2. gap in a sliding window

3. gap between door and concrete

4. gaps up the side of the door

5. gap where the ceiling and wall meet

6. Gap in the corner of a window

 

thanks very much to anyone who can help!

Thank you! We are planning to insulate and add walls eventually, any thoughts on how that would impact it?

Thanks, a whirlybird sounds like a good idea, to help with cooling as well as moisture

Good idea, thanks. It’s a really big garage, with a back room on it.

Thanks, seems like a variety of products in the different problem spots will be the solution
