New pole shed Advice wanted
If you haven't already bought the roof yet, you may want to look into a 'standing seam' roof. The basic design is such that you attach clips to your structure and the roof snaps onto the clips. Additionally the roof panels interlock with each other, almost eliminating screw holes in the roof - which pretty much makes it leak-proof.
I know the 'snapping onto clips' may make it sound a little whimpy, but I think mine has a 90 MPH wind rating and it's already survived 70MPH+. I used the Ultra-Dek product from MBCI.

New pole shed Advice wanted
shortmag-
Just an observeation , my brother 30x40x10pole barn has metal roof -a light misting rain sounds like a Major weather event let alone the occaisonal acorn -sounds deafing. Also condensation on inside can prove annoyance at times. I put up a 30x60x10 shingle roof and osb side with vinyl(wife wanted barn to match house). Got one slider on gable end, 2 overhead doors,& svc door on long side and 4 winodws on the other gable end. split up in thirds window end woodshop/general tinker, middle bay 'grease monkey work' and last bay the tractor and implements plus boat

Woodie,
You're suggestion is a good one. What you're thinking of is a more permanent building. At a minimum I will price the materials out. I'm sure I would like it better in the long run.

Last summer my wife and I built a 24 x 56 pole barn – ½ finished shop – ½ storage. Great Summer Project! – Good luck on yours
Couple suggestions
· We spent some additional bucks on attic roof trusses – 7/12 pitch. So we have a loft throughout the entire building. When we built it I swore I would never be able to fill the attic. – Boy was I wrong –
· Larger garage door – we planned on 10 and ended up with a 16
· Plumb it for water and drains – I didn’t and already wish I would have
· Windows – We didn’t think we wanted a lot…. ended-up we did.
· Take your time and have fun – some things we rushed.
· Wrap the building with a moisture barrier
· We did a curtain drain all the way around the building – good piece of mind – depends on your grade also
