i know this is way off the pole barn idea but in the way of cheap the ideas i have seen that worked well and w/very minimal cost a local develper near chicago bought a grain elevator and 200 acres and was going to demolish the bins and just take the tin to scrap and bury the cement what was done was the bins were used as halves and pere put upside down as the roof the floor was poured concrete with I____I 5 foot sides to help make the rings sit up higher and give the shed more height and for some beer bolts and the cement along w/a lttle sealer for the joints my neighbor got one heck of a nice shed for very very little cost as the contractor/developer told him if he was willing to take them down go for it as he didnt have to knock them down separate them haul the steel he jsut wanted them gone. he also ended up putting up plastic doors on the ends that let light in and they honestly keep it fairlly cool int he summer warm in the winter. the shed isnt heated but is sitll decnetly warm anything to get out of the wind is a benefit and for the cost of the bolts beer and sealer (now the doors he got a really nice shed for it i think. better then a 1/2 million dollar combine sitting outside and it is plenty tall enough to fit a combine in etc in the center. only downside is it gets less height as it goes towards the wall but you just keep the bailer, tractors disc, etc to the ouside. i dont know if you were looking for a shop or not but if jsut storage its great cheap storage.
