The best thinking about steel aircraft hangar
These Quonset huts (as the metal buildings came to be known) were modeled after and modified from the original British Nissen hut semi cylindrical design with the addition of insulation, wooden linings and floors. These metal buildings were initially used for troop and equipment housing, but vertical sidewalls were eventually added to the structures to increase the amount of usable space for more diverse purposes such as bakeries, isolation wards, dental offices and showers. They became so popular with the troops that some of them even purchased the surplus metal buildings for their personal housing after the war. Modern day metal buildings come in several different design kits. Each kit includes an easy to follow assembly manual that even the most mechanically challenged of us can interpret.
