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.

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
