If you go the single use tool route then you might prefer the Brush Grubber Rod/Post Puller, Model# BG15 <Brush Grubber Rod/Post Puller, Model# BG15 | Fencing | Northern Tool + Equipment> It will extract rods that are driven nearly all the way in and even those that were driven all the way in if you dig out enough of the rod for the puller to get a grip.Lighter and easier than Hi-lift jack.
Tuggy T-Post Puller | Wire + Tools | Northern Tool + Equipment
Would also recommend the post driver (metal pipe with two handles) to make driving the rods easier.
Surplus cable grips and come alongs with any kind of tripod or a frame will extract the rods just fine. There are also rod lifters and fence post pullers that you can buy but I prefer multi use devices.Excellent looking shelter. I like the plans a lot.
WRT getting the grounding rods back out, you may consider using a Hi-lift or ratcheting farm jack. They're very handy for getting stakes and fence posts out of the ground, so if you had some kind of attachment loop or hook on the top of the grounding rod, it would work very well.
