Garage buildings, something to read about
The original structure was replaced with a design that employed vertical side walls supporting an arched roof; the new setup provided much more usable space. With no beams or trusses, and 100 percent usable space, the Quonset huts of today serve many purposes. The arched steel construction of a Quonset hut makes it one of the strongest structures in architecture; these huts can withstand the worst of Mother Nature. Farmers find them ideal for hay, grain, crop and machinery storage; some also use the structures to house horses and livestock. Large Quonset huts also make fine, inexpensive airplane hangars.
