Insulating the roof will stop the sweating. The stuff in my building comes in a roll about 3' wide and contains a white outer layer, 2 layers of alum foil each side of center, and a bubble wrap core. Guarantee you it doesn't drip. Course part if that is to install roof vents to let the building breathe and allow the trapped moisture to exit. No vents, expect moisture problems in the colder/ seasonal changing conditions. I have 2 10' roof ridge vents on a 50' building. I have never had rain blow in using the ridge vent type of vent.....cupolas yes on other buildings. That's why I went with the ridge on this building.
I chose a wood pole barn frame over steel because I liked the wood strips every 2.5 ft allows for 29 ga. steel which is plenty for sides and roof. I like a pole barn because it is IN the ground. Mine is 90 mph wind resistant, guaranteed.
On the pole barn you can concrete after building, using the building forms for your floor as they are, or no concrete. Still have a tough building.
The steel sheets can be cut to order for quick assy and over the years I have found that the metal to wood screws, that the steel supplier usually carries are perfect. No nails backing out over the years. My barn is 30x50 with 12' sides and the roof and sides are made up of one sheet of steel. Goes up really easy and fast.
A 3/12 pitch works out great and allows for a shed on the side with adequate head room. I added a shed (roof) running the full 50' length x 15' wide. 15' seemed to be too much initially, but it is what you want. Room for your tractor or whatever and room to get around or by it to do other things.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
