Big brainstorm on steel garage kits
Design flaws soon became evident as the military began using Quonset huts for more than just troop housing and equipment storage. The huts also worked well as showers, latrines, dental offices, bakeries and isolation wards but needed special structural layouts to accommodate these additional uses and related equipment. The military modified the Quonset hut design to include vertical side walls supporting an arched roof; this layout provided much more usable space. Modern Quonset huts offer 100 percent usable space by not utilizing beams or trusses in their design. Their arched steel construction makes them one of the strongest structures in architecture; they can withstand hurricanes, tornadoes, heavy rain, snow and wind.
