My little spot on the Internet about metal barns
The advantages of the Quonset huts that had made so useful in the war as mass production shelters made them equally effective for this purpose as well. Quonset huts were easy enough to manufacture and transport, easier to set up everywhere. Quonset huts made efficient use of space and could be served as highly efficient, economic, pragmatic and ingenious housing structures. Since the war, many variations of the original or T Bone Quonset huts have come about adapting them to different purposes as required, such as the Redesign model which makes use of a different structure for the semi circular arch so that beds and furniture no longer have to be shifted away from the wall towards the interior, and the Stran Steel model which are made of lightweight steel and are far more spacious than the original, while being much lighter. There exist many other structures which make use of the basic design of the Quonset huts and differ only on minor counts, such as the size or construction material, proving the versatile nature of the design and functionality of the original.
