Learn about metal building
The metal structures were definitely an improvement over the wooden foundation tent structures that had served those functions. After the war, the Quonset huts were sold to the public and started being seen across the country for various civilian uses. Since WWII, many companies have produced buildings modeled after Quonset huts for many different uses. The metal buildings you see today had their beginnings in the design of Quonset huts. Because the arch design of Quonset huts meant that the walls were curved where they met the floor, it was difficult to place furniture and machinery against the walls.
