I am sorry but I think a 4 foot hole is overkill.

Why be sorry? Just put 'em in as deep as you feel
like, I'm sure it will work out OK.

And if it doesn't work out, he'll be chasing his barn and all the
contents through the countryside in the next really stiff windstorm.
Of course, when that outbuilding blows across the property line into
the neighbors house and demolishes it, a simple "sorry" ain't gonna
cut it.

(And your homeowners insurance carrier will be looking for any
convenient "out" so they don't have to pay for it. No building
permit, no engineering, no inspections is a perfect excuse for them.)

Think about it... Erecting the building to meet or exceed the local
building codes is the right way to do it, and whenever in doubt go a
bit "overkill". If you overbuild it a bit (or a lot) in good faith,
and you can prove it with all the inspections and engineering papers
and a pile of construction photographs - and something bad still
happens - they can't come back at you nearly as easily.
