Something else I forgot. On poles, in '81 I had Morton Buildings build a building for me. Their building methodology was to put 3 heavily creosote treated short posts, attached together to form essentially one post in the hole with concrete. Stuck out of the ground about 3'.
To that they would attach the upper 3 layered "poles" which were untreated. They used 3 of different upper lengths allowing them to add the upper portion with staggered attachment points for strength.
Today most of the posts are 50% or better eaten away by termites and rot. Expect any day the building will fall apart. Probably not, but will have some serious shifting issues....doors won't fit.
On my new pole barn I installed the poles in plastic socks. The poles are treated and 5" square. The plastic sock is a heavy duty plastic square tube that keeps the wood from touching the soil, sticking up about a foot above the slab. Shouldn't have a problem with that.
