There are several amazing benefits that come with Quonset Hut buildings. The natural strength of a steel arch is built strong enough to withstand some of the most extreme weather events.

Quonsets are self-supporting structures that do not require the use of beams or trusses to stand. This allows the owner of the building to use 100% of the space available.

SteelMaster will then take these custom-designed plans to actually create the building. After your custom, prefabricated arches are made, they are delivered right to your doorstep.

The cost-effectiveness of Quonset Hut garages allows our customers the financial flexibility to plan custom garage storage solutions that are perfect for them.

Insulation, vents, windows, and doors can all be added to the design of your building.

Quonsets also have the unique ability to expand with ease. If you would like to change the size of your building, just add or remove the arches as necessary.

Prefabricated Metal Garage Applications

If you’ve ever put together an erector set or built a tiny structure out of Legos, you can put together your own, ready-to-assemble, prefabricated garage. Our buildings are pre-cut and pre-drilled and they only require the use of one size nut and bolt.

Shipping Container Garage

Make the most of your working area by turning shipping containers into a garage with a SteelMaster shipping container roof kit.

A shipping container garage can be open-ended or enclosed, and the size can be customized to the width between the two containers and the height requirements of your project. You can use the shipping containers as well as the space between them for secure storage options.

RV Garage Storage

When you make a major investment, you want to keep it safe. Strong security and unmatched quality is what SteelMaster offers RV owners who want to protect their vehicles from the elements.

SteelMaster’s RV garage kits offer customers several amazing benefits. Because Quonset garages don’t have beams or trusses, your SteelMaster building can be customized to accommodate small or large motorhomes, plus other items.

Portable Metal Garages

Planning to move? Don’t leave your metal garage behind, take it with you! SteelMaster offers an amazing benefit that traditional wood structures don’t—portability.

To accommodate the need for a portable building, SteelMaster offers a special plate that is bolted to the chosen foundation. If you plan to move the building, you can simply take the steel Quonset and the special plate off of the foundation and transport them to a new location.

Our portable prefabricated metal garages are designed to be moved in one of two ways: disassemble/reassemble or pick them up and move them to a new location.

The size and design of your garage will determine the best way to move it. Be sure to tell your building specialist if portability is an important feature for you and they review the details of your garage to offer insights and tips.

How Much Does it Cost to Build a Quonset Garage?

SteelMaster Buildings is committed to providing the best quality buildings at the most competitive prices.

When calculating the cost of your ideal Quonset hut, it’s important to consider several important factors including:

Building use: Whether it’s a steel garage, shed, carport, workshop, aircraft hangar, bulk storage facility, or a Quonset home, each kind of building will have different requirements and can vary quite a bit in pricing.
Building size: After we determine how you will use the building, the next question is about the size. Once you decide how large or small you need your building, we will then calculate the price of the structure based on the width and length.
Location: The design of your building heavily depends on your area’s snow and wind load requirements. Buildings with higher snow and wind loads require a thicker gauge of steel, which can cause a variation in price.
Building components: The possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing a building to fit your unique needs. Additional parts can alter the price of the overall project, but SteelMaster works to make sure the Quonset Hut is within your budget.
Building assembly method: A majority of our customers assemble their buildings themselves. However, some opt to hire a contractor at an additional cost, which can increase their overall building price.
