Hello everyone,
I recently started looking into pole buildings and found myself here. Seems like a wealth of information here and good resources.

My 2¢ if you are going to pull the trigger.

• Spend the money and put down a vapor barrier and insulation under the slab.
• Post MUST be pressure treated, 4x6, even if it is two 2x6 nailed together. Perma-columns or a full depth above ground concrete base with the post attached by a bracket is best.
• The top ledger that the truss are going to rest on should be notched into the post, not attached with screws/lags (easy if you are making the posts out of 2x6).
