I have built numerous Sheds using Stick Built Poles such as - all PT Material, 2x6/2x8/2x6 Laminated poles. Hold back the 2x8 so only 1 1/2 "Is extended beyond the 2x6. this give you a "Tongue " to butt the Sidewall Nailers to. Use 2x6 S4S Lumber for Sidewall Nailers. The 2x8 Center of the Laminated Pole I cut at the top same as the Bottom chord of your Truss Ceiling Height. Set the Tail end of the Truss down in this "Pocket" Bolt with Two 1/2" Bolts and large Washers, Install a Knee Brace if wanted. I usually did not use Knee Braces for Bldgs of 10'Heighth or less.

An Continous Ridge Vent or leave out the Ridge Seal altogether will work. Foam Panels with Poly on bottom side and Alum. Foil on the top side for Roof Insul. 2x4 S4S on 24" CC. for Roof Purlins. 2x6 S4S on 30" Approx. CC. for Side Walls. What ever you do, do not over nail the Roof and Side Wall steel. It will spread and you will have a Mess. Above all-Measure-Measure-Measure! Your Steel Supplier should be able to furnish all the Trims and Accessories you will need.
