Around here (S WI) widespread building of pole livestock ,storage ,and machine barns started in the 60's using round poles set on 12" round 6" thick pads about 4' deep and using 8' or 10' rafter spacing. the poles with creosote base treatment lasted pretty good. By 1970 most were using 6''x6" penta treated poles and they rotted off at ground or concrete level in 20-30 years . I've repaired several by cutting the pole off 6" to12" above grade and pulling the lower 4' out (only the 12'' or so at grade will be rotten) and then bolting a 3"x 4' galvanized angle piece to the pole and filling the hole with concrete up to the cut off . New pole construction now seems to be using laminated 2"x6" based poles with very high rated treatment lumber in ground and on 8' spacing.
