If you will be using metal roofing the rain will run right off. We have several farm buildings with various pitch roofs, all of them standing seam metal roofs. The main barn has had standing seam metal roof (replacing the original wood shingle roof) on for over 75 years and not a single drop of water gets in. The underside of the meatl roof is just as new when it was put on. As to a metal roof sweating, if the barn or pole shed is tighly enclosed so that the building can't breathe, yep, probably will sweat.

Our barn was built in 1830 with wood shingle roof that lasted a hundred years when the standing seam roof replaced the shingles. Looks like the metal roof will easily last till the year 2050 or longer.
