That's exactly how I build my pens. 3 sided pole barn, then I set additional poles for the runs. Depending on the width of each pen will determine the placement of poles for the sheltered area. I use metal roofing also, much easier to build and longer lasting than a composite roof.
I don't use the trusses method perse...I build mine with a slanted roof. The open side faces South, that end is the highest point of the pen. Mine are 9' on south end and 8' on the north end, with 7' high runs. Had to build split level pen due to slope of ground and not having any way to level the ground. Here's a few pics of the one enclosure I built close to my house.
Hope these may be of some help!

No, I don't have a coop page.
That particular enclosure is 30' x 40' total. It has 8 seperate pens. The door you see is the outside door. Each pen has it's own door for access. I'll take some pics of them tomorrow, showing the interior of each pen...their all the same btw. This enclosure wasn't cheap, ran over $3,500 to build...and I built it myself without any help during construction. Even the post holes were dug by hand, no tractor mounted auger used here...that was a real pain.

looking good Sean - how are you feeling? Did you have surgery?
Not yet, DD. Going to Tuesday!
Out patient but will be in hospital for 1 night observation. My neighbor will be taking care of my birds and George for a few days after I'm home.
Yea, cuz I was beginning to wonder if one of those pens was big enough to hold you for a couple of days 
I know DH doesn't always think I am funny either. Truth be told if i didn't laugh at my jokes probably be very quiet after I told one
