The last post talked about three styles of Quonset huts, the “A”, “Q”, and “R” styles. Quonset huts are multi-purpose pre-engineered steel buildings that are easy to construct and transport.

This post talks about the remaining three styles, the “S”, “T”, and “X”.

“S” Style

The “S” style steel building has straight sidewalls and a clear-span arch roof. This time, the sidewalls are lower than those of the “R” style Quonset hut. This style increases sidewall clearance allowing for more storage space. Center heights may vary depending on the need.

These steel buildings are typically used for homes, cottages, lakeside dwellings, garages, warehouses, storage houses, studios, conference halls, or additional buildings to existing structures.

“T” Style

A “T” style Quonset hut is a steel structure that looks half-finished – clear span, open sided and with partial arch architecture. Looking like the upper half of the letter “C”, the structural frame supports are located on the open side.

These metal structures are typically used for livestock shelters, coverage for large tractors and other equipments, service facilities for large vehicles, and coverage for walkways and sidewalks.

“X” Style

The “X” style Quonset hut provides slightly more interior room than other building styles due to its sloped walls and peaked roof. Center heights for the roof may vary according to needs.

“X” style Quonset hut steel buildings are typically used for garages, hobby shops, boat shops, automotive dealerships, mechanic repair shops, trade shops, industrial shops, convenience stores, grocery stores, and studios.
