Our Quonset Hut kits feature a completely open layout because they have no beams or walls to obstruct the interior of the structure. This allows customers the option to use every inch of the interior space to create an open-concept floor plan with no interior columns.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to your Quonset hut home’s endwalls. Because the building’s endwalls do not support the structure, you can pretty much design them however you want! If you plan on doing custom endwalls, it is recommended to purchase materials locally to save money.
The amount and placement of windows and doors on the endwalls are up to you. If you’re interested in adding side windows or doors, be sure to mention it to your building specialist so they can factor this into your building’s design.
You can add a traditional porch to your building by attaching it to your endwall or insetting your endwall to create an arched overhang.
While many customers attached their buildings to concrete slabs, others use alternative foundations that include. Engineers design a standard foundation that will appear on your state-stamped blueprints and there are other options for alternate foundations and this can be discussed with your building specialist.

Building your home is an overlapping two-part process of procuring what you need to build your home and getting your home built.
Many people love the idea of using a Quonset hut as a home, but they don’t know how complex the project can be. Here are some things you should consider before purchasing a Quonset hut home:
The Q-Model and S-Model are most commonly used for homes, but you may also build a home with an A-Model and X-Model.
Work with your home specialist to choose a size that will accommodate your house plans.
Kickstart your Quonset hut home journey.
Get blueprints and work with an architect to design your ideal floor plan.
Hire someone to assemble the building, or do it yourself!
Building a new home can be extremely costly due to the materials, labor, and overall construction time.
The longer it takes to build your home, the more costly it will be. That is why Quonset homes are the most cost-effective option.
Due to its DIY nature, the building time is minimal compared to other types of homes. Many owners of Quonset homes can assemble their homes themselves, or with the help of a contractor in just a couple of weeks.
The costs associated with maintaining a home can be overwhelming. Homeowners must budget for wear and tear in order to maintain the value. Typically, Quonset hut homes do not require the same amount of maintenance and will always hold their value. They are built to be fire, tornado, and hurricane-resistant and can withstand high winds and heavy snow loads.
If environmental sustainability and eco-friendliness are important factors for building your next home, a Quonset hut is most likely the best choice.
When designing and planning your eco-friendly home, Quonset’s also prove unique home customization options that will further reduce your carbon footprint:
SteelMaster’s metal Quonset hut home kits are made of at least 80 percent recycled steel. Additionally, they are covered in Energy Star-rated Galvalume Plus. This organic coating reduces energy consumption by reflecting heat–keeping your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and doesn’t pose any threat to the environment surrounding your home.
Unlike traditional “stick-built” homes, your Quonset hut home kit will come with the exact amount of panels, nuts, and bolts you need, leaving little to no excess waste after assembly.
We hope some of our customers’ most impressive projects will inspire you to get started on your own Quonset hut structure. See all articles.
