Benefits of Quonset Hut Buildings
These metal buildings use a time-tested, tried-and-true architectural method: the arch. This allows them to be constructed without the need for trusses, support beams or pillars, which means they allow for maximized space inside. You’ll be able to use every square foot for your purposes. They are also made from heavy-gauge steel and coated in Galvalume Plus, an advanced alloy of zinc and aluminum, which creates unparalleled durability against the elements, as well as outstanding heat reflectivity to maintain interior temperature.
This means that no matter what the weather might be — heat, ice, snow, rain or wind — your steel arch structure will stand up to whatever the environment has to offer. It’s corrosion-resistant so it will stand the test of time for many years of use. The structures are also economical, as they assemble quickly and carry a low cost as compared to traditional buildings.
Quonset Huts has been around for a while
Quonset huts were first manufactured in 1941 by the United States Navy as all-purpose, lightweight buildings that shipped anywhere and could be assembled easily and quickly. They served as aircraft hangars, prefab garages, and military bases and had many other uses.
Anywhere from 150,000 to 170,000 of these huts were manufactured during World War II, after which the surplus was sold to the public. The earliest models used a standard size and shape structure, but over the years, they have taken on many different forms and today can be truly customized to suit any storage needs you might have.
