Quonset hut, where to start

Constructors got the idea of making Quonset huts after they were successfully used in World War II, these new structures were cheap and easy to build as compared to a masonry and concrete building. The idea came from military hangars used to safeguard plane and other important assets. These could be easily assembled by hand just like a freighter and in case it had to be moved, it was as easy as taking the structure apart and rebuilding it on a different location just as it was in the previous one. Only a handful of soldiers were required to 6 meter wide and 15 meter long Quonset huts. Quonset huts were used by allies to protect their assets and soldiers from sunlight, rain and snow.
