3 Reasons Why You Should Consider Building a Quonset Hut Home

With the recent rise in real estate prices, a lot of people are abandoning their dreams of having their own homes built. However, Quonset huts are a great alternative and allow for interesting design options for much less. They also have many advantages over traditional buildings that you may not have expected. In this article, we’re going to give you a few reasons why should consider a Quonset hut home as an option.

They’re Cheap and Easy to Build

The first advantage of Quonset hut homes is that they’re incredibly cheap. You can get a Quonset hut for as little five dollars per square foot, which is way cheaper than any of the other traditional building options you’ll find out there. And this is one of the main reasons they were used in the first place, to provide cheap, yet durable, housing to soldiers during WWII.

This is also one of the reasons why they are so easy to erect. When compared to any other traditional building methods, Quonset huts are much easier to make and can be installed much faster as well. Companies like SteelMaster Buildings sell kits that come with everything needed to build a Quonset hut, minus the foundation. And you don’t have to have a slab foundation poured either, you can build them over an existing foundation, installed over wood walls or concrete.

A Quonset hut can be erected in a few days using nothing but basic tools. They don’t require much prep work and demand very little maintenance once built as well.

Customizable and Spacious

Another great thing about Quonset huts is how easy they are to customize. They can satisfy every need and work in any environment. They can be insulated if you have to deal with extremely cold weather and adding heating; ventilation or AC is a breeze as well. They also don’t need supporting walls or beams, which gives you tons of free space to decorate and configure the interior as you wish. You can put up partitioning walls wherever you want to create rooms and you can create great open living spaces as well.

Very Durable

A lot of people may believe that something like a Quonset hut would be less durable, but they’d be sorely mistaken. A Quonset hut can resist anything you throw at it, even better than some other traditional building options. They are made to resist wind, hail, snow, and even hurricane force winds. They are also very resistant to flames and can contain fires instead of allowing them to spread to neighboring properties. Not to mention that it’s virtually impossible to cause permanent damage to a Quonset hut. For all these reasons, Quonset hut homes are a great option if you have to frequently deal with extreme weather conditions and natural disasters.

All in all, a Quonset hut home can be a great way to build a unique home that reflects your personality without breaking the bank. Make sure that you give them a second look and consider seeing a contractor to see the options that are open to you.
