There has been a thread about this a while back, and currently there are some posts in the 'What did you do xxx'' thread. I'm posting this separately, as it is a slightly different (but much more flexible) approach to de-humidification. I installed a 'split' heat pump system in my hobby garage about 12 years ago. Cheap Chinese system, but it has worked beautifully for these 12 years, summer and winter.. It puts out 120 degree air when the outside temps are in the low teens, and 40 degree air today when it's 95 degrees. Of course when it is on the cooling mode it also dehumidifies beautifully. BUT, it has a 'dry' mode, which allows it to function as a de-humidifier. And, it operates on DC (converts 220 AC to DC), which means it has variable compressor speed, based on thermostat demand (designated as Inverter Technology). This is much more energy efficient than the heat pump systems that turn the compressor off and on to achieve the thermostat setting. The ones available now are about 25% cheaper than the one I purchased (installed it myself).
Here is a link to an 18K BTU unit on eBay fro <$1K (I think i bought the 24K BTU size): https://www.ebay.com/itm/18-000-BTU...086659?hash=item5d8e6733c3:g:-2MAAOSwffBdMixL
Just posting this, so anyone looking to keep the humidity down might consider an option that provides even more functions.
