A Quonset hut is a type of prefabricated structure that was widely used during World War II. It is made of corrugated steel and has a semi-cylindrical shape, resembling a half-cylinder or “Quonset” shape. Quonset huts were primarily used for military purposes, such as barracks, storage facilities, and temporary housing. They were known for their durability, versatility, and ease of construction. Although originally designed for military use, Quonset huts have also been adapted for civilian purposes, such as workshops, garages, and even residential buildings.
