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.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
