I also am in the process of building a 20x 65 pole barn for equipment and have debated about even setting the poles in the ground at all. I decided that I am going to pour concrete piers 4 feet deep and also have about a foot above ground (5 feet in all) with a heavy pin in the top. the poles will be drilled to set over the pin. the poles are trees cut to length with bark peeled.I figure by putting them a foot above ground on a pier I never have to think about rot. I worked at a place that had done a barn this way and it worked well and that was built around 1900.
.......my 2 cents.
