Quonset huts have proven their value and versatility over the past six decades, especially noted for their use by the military during World War II. Their robust construction, paired with relatively straightforward installation processes, makes them ideal for a variety of sheltering needs. In Idaho, these structures are widely recognized not only for their functionality but also for their aesthetic appeal, whether it’s safeguarding vehicles and equipment or expanding living spaces.

Design Options for Quonset Buildings
We offer a diverse range of Quonset building designs to meet various structural and aesthetic needs for Idaho’s diverse landscapes. Our Quonset huts are available in four distinct models, each providing unique benefits:
- E Model: Featuring an iconic arched roof, this design maximizes interior space while ensuring structural strength. Available in two widths—14 and 30 feet—with lengths that can be customized according to your project’s requirements.
- Q Model: Our largest model echoes the traditional Quonset shape, renowned for its durability. This option can span up to 70 feet wide and offers unlimited length customization, ensuring you have ample space for any application.
- S Model: Designed with a curved roof, the S model efficiently handles heavy precipitation, be it rain or snow. It offers complete utilization of space with widths ranging from 10 to 50 feet and customizable lengths, perfect for commercial use or large vehicle storage.
- A Model: With a pitched roof design, this model stands strong against harsh winds and heavy snow loads. It provides up to 40 feet in width and can be extended in length as per your needs.
Our buildings boast Galvalume Plus steel for enhanced protection against corrosion. The structures are highly adaptable with various customization options, from skylights and windows to doors and ventilation systems including turbine vents and louver vents. Each hut can be outfitted with insulation, plumbing, and a customizable open floor plan to suit your preferences. The clear-span design eliminates the need for interior support beams, allowing for a versatile use of square footage.
To cater to specific requirements, we offer additional customization such as custom endwalls, which can be open or closed with optional steel endwalls. The roofing system can adapt to include natural light or secure closure, ensuring that your Quonset hut meets both your functional needs and aesthetic desires.
