Metal barns A new world
Following the war, the military was left with a surplus of Quonset huts and sold them to the public for one thousand dollars per unit. Universities purchased them for student housing, and some returning soldiers even purchased them for their own personal housing. Modern day Quonset huts are versatile and perfect for machinery and grain storage, backyard workshops, and even airplane hangars. Or, how about a guest cottage made from a Quonset hut. With no trusses and beams to get in the way, Quonset huts give you 100 percent useable space and can be expanded to any length just by adding sidewall panels.
