My dad put up a building just like yours about 6 months ago. He bought U-bolts, the square not the pipe kind. Put U-bolt in the corrugations at the studs. He drilled the 2x4's and slid onto u-bolts. Bought some pre-drilled metal retainer bars that fit the u-bolts and put them over the 2x4 and bolted them down. Did the same about 18" or so down so he could put anglee braces for his shelving.

Square u bolts was my first thought but didn't know if you could put it through the corrugations. But all you have to do is unscrew one or two screws outside and slide it in. I vote square bolts.
