My thoughts on steel garage kits
The first approved design had a surface area 5 x 11 m and was constructed from hemispherical iron rods with a 2. 4 m radius, and these were then covered with ribbed iron panes. The doors and windows were designed off the side of the main structure with regular ply, and the insulated interior contained a wood floor. The concept of this kind of temporary accommodation increased in use during the 1941 when the US Navy required a dependable housing facility. The answer lay in constructing a lightweight shelter that could be readily shipped anywhere and did not require expert hands during assembly.
