A pole barn like yours is a good lesson in relative humidity, dew point and condensation.

I designed my pole barn without a metal roof. I've never had the first condensation issue. I used 1/2 inch OSB and 35 year shingles. I have a 6 inch concrete floor. NO PLASTIC under floor. I can park a truck in barn covered with snow. Floor can be wet. ABSOLUTELY NO CONDENSATION PROBLEM.
That's why I'm not a fan of metal roofs. I learned that lesson 50 years ago.
