Hi Ken! Yes you CAN build in stages.
Pretend you're building a "hay shed" or "pavilion". 8' pole and rafter spacing. Pole barn rafters are WAY heavier than regular garage or house 2' o.c. rafters. The roof purlins will be 2x4 installed on edge. There will be 2x6 angle braces from poles to rafters on both axis. Consult Menards.com pole barn packages for ideas. OR you can design your own with their design program online. It's really fun.
Later, you add your wall purlins and wall steel and doors/windows.

The wind will not be an issue without walls. There are HUNDREDS of haysheds all across our state and region that don't tip over. Some of which are 18+ feet tall.
