Quonset Hut Storage Buildings

The quonset structure has been used in multiple ways since their initial use during war times. In fact today you can look around and see several Quonsets being used as storage buildings. Storage whether in a commercial setting such as in a warehouse or large garage to even in someone’s private backyard setting, to house personal items. A quonset shed will give you that extra storage space that you need, whether it is for books or tools to equipment and food. The quonset storage building is an ideal structure solution for your DIY steel building project. Our pre-engineered metal kits give you superiority in strength and reliability.

In short - Quonset storage buildings are a relatively light-weight structure that has been made from 100% steel, making use of the arch construction. This is one of the better options for your storage needs.

The quonset size is dependent on your specific requirement, whether small or large. You have the latitude based on your needs and space desired, and then it is manufactured to specification. However there are some standard sizes which can assist in helping you to manage your cost.

Length - You can generally start at about 20ft. The length of the building can go up in 2ft increments. Each arch is about 2 feet wide. As such you can have a quonset storage building at an infinite length, as you add your arch as needed.

Width - Many of the building widths start around 16ft and can go up to just about 150ft. This of course is depending on the requirements again for the storage building. A chat with our team and you can garner some standard widths for example of 20ft, 30ft, 40ft and so on.

Height - Again the height is dependent on the needs of the storage building and the location. Some properties tend to start around 10ft in height, and go up from there.

Therefore based on your demand of the quonset storage space our team can assist on the dimensions best suited.

The quonset structure has withstood the test of time. Along with this is the arch which enables the construction of the building and no need for trusses nor support beams. Added to this is the benefit of maximum use of the space, as there is no need for any support beams nor pillars. Every square foot can therefore be used in the storage building based on your demand. 

Durability - The quonset storage building acts in protecting your contents. This happens as the structure is made from heavy-gauge steel and is Galvalume Plus coated using an alloy of zinc and aluminum. This helps protect against whatever mother nature throws at you in the elements and also adds to reflecting the external heat, providing for a stable interior temperature too. The quonset building is corrosion-resistant and again this provides the durability needed over years. It is this durability that supersedes those buildings built traditionally.

Low Maintenance - This durability as mentioned based on the steel frame structure also means that maintenance is significantly lower. It is not made of wood, and thus the worry of pests, termites, molds and deterioration because of weather and environmental factors is negated.

Energy Efficient - Whether it is to keep interior temperature stable or lighting needs, Quonset storage buildings can do this. It will need to be properly insulated such that temperature fluctuations are minimal. Also, the use of skylights adds to the use of natural sunlight as compared to the constant use of powered lighting.

Fire Resistance - This is one of the key benefits of having a quonset storage building. The risk of a fire is there and anything that can minimize this is always a plus. Whether it is by lightning strike, electrical or otherwise, fires happen. However, it is practically impossible for the steel to burn under normal conditions. In comparison, a stick-built structure is not fire resistant.

Therefore as you consider the pros and the cons, it makes sense to protect your contents with the use of a Quonset Storage Building.
