which direction is the wind blowing, and how thick do you need it? around where i live, a good option for that would be place it at either end of the high wind zone because the wind blows across the highway. and wyoming is a very windy place.

Retain a structural engineer to assist you in preparing drawings for the necessary foundation.

Agreed, hire a Licensed Structural Engineer to assist you with the design.

....not only the foundation design, but the design of the uprights and cross-members as well!
