Quonset Hut Buildings
The arch that needs no interior frame
A quonset is a continuous corrugated steel arch bolted rib to rib. The shape is the structure — there is no separate frame holding up a separate skin — which is why it uses less steel per square foot than almost anything else and why it has stayed in production since the 1940s.
What to think about before you order
The trade-off is honest: at the base, the walls curve. Floor space near the perimeter is limited in headroom, which matters if you planned to line the walls with tall shelving. Buyers who want the arch's economy plus usable wall height generally move to a straight-wall-with-arched-roof profile instead.
Common uses
- Storage and equipment
- Agricultural buildings
- Workshops
- Low-cost enclosed space
Recommended profiles
These are the models that suit quonset hut buildings best. The right one depends mostly on whether you need usable wall height or the lowest cost per square foot.
