A place to discuss quonset hut
Quonset huts, sometimes referred to as Q series steel buildings, are valued for the strength of their corrugated and rounded arch design. Amazingly strong, these buildings have proven resistant to hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and heavy wind, rain and snow. With no need for supportive beams or trusses, Quonset huts give you 100 percent usable space for purposes as diverse as grain storage and airplane hangars. Quonset huts, developed at the naval base in Quonset, Rhode Island during World War II, were originally intended to address the need for light housing and storage that could be quickly assembled and torn down in the field with nothing more than hand tools. These huts consisted of steel building panels that were strong enough to protect troops and supplies from the elements.
