I agree with butcher. You would be better off doing something different. Framed buildings can be jacked up, moved, and set on new foundation fairly easy. Pole building is a hole nother story. Doing what you want to do (make it a taller building), forget it. You will have to buy all new poles and set them all anyways. You won't be saving absolutely nothing on the poles. That only leaves rafters, siding, and roofing you will be salvaging by moving. If there is something there to salvage like siding, rafters, roof tin, and so on, go over there and tear it down and then use the useable stuff in constructing a building from scratch at your place. If you really look at a great big pole shed, there really isn't to much to salvage. The old poles, plan on cutting them off at ground level, what's left is what's left. If it has shingels on the roof, about the only thing worth salvageing is the rafters out of the roof and if they are made from 2x4's or short you really aren't salvaging anything there. And as far as using second hand tin, you just about got to use it the second time as siding because of the holes in it (likely leak if used on roof). Well, anyways you can kind of see what I'm getting at. But hey, if there is material in it that you can use to build yours, by all means go over there and tear it down for salvage. I just don't know what in particular there is there to salvage as far as lumber, tin, and what not.
