A Quonset hut is a lightweight, prefabricated structure made of corrugated galvanized steel characterized by its semi-cylindrical shape. The design was developed during World War II in the United States and named after the site where it was first manufactured, the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Quonset Point, Rhode Island. These buildings were originally designed as all-purpose, transportable buildings that could be easily assembled and disassembled to accommodate the needs of the military.

The typical Quonset hut has a distinct arched roof which extends down to the ground or close to the ground, eliminating the need for separate side walls. This design offers a unique blend of strength and versatility, providing a large, clear interior space ideal for storage, workshops, or even residential spaces. The simplicity of its construction and the durability of its materials contribute to its continued popularity, particularly in settings requiring economical and robust solutions for temporary or semi-permanent facilities.

This calculator is a comprehensive tool for obtaining precise measurements of a Quonset hut, facilitating effective planning, design, and construction processes.
