    Those military huts are actually called Quonset huts, as they were first used (duh) at the Quonset Naval air station in Rhode Island. They are incredibly durable and make great garages except that you lose a lot of floor space due to the sloping walls. As long as the ends are either wide open or sealed completely closed, any wind short of about a category two tornado won't bother them (assuming that they and anchored to the ground).

    Heh heh I knew what they were but couldn’t spell it lol

    Yes Sir those bow string roof arches made for excellent durability in our other areas and we actually paneled the
    interior of the “Q-huts” was a heavy duty place
