A review on metal barns
This brings us to the Q series industrial steel building. Also known as Quonset huts, Q series buildings with their rounded corrugated arch design are some of the strongest structures in architecture. Named for the town of Quonset, Rhode Island (the location of the naval base where the hut design was developed), these huts were used extensively during World War II to house troops and equipment in the field. Some returning soldiers liked them so much that they purchased the surplus huts to use as housing after the war. These days, Q series industrial steel buildings are used for such diverse purposes as airplane hangars and to house grain; their ability to resist tornados, hurricanes, and heavy rain, snow and wind make them ideal storage facilities.
