Quonset for a shop?

[AC Diesel]

Do any of you guy's have any experience with these modified straight wall quonsets?
I see them in all sorts of magazine's, but they look cheesy to me, low quality?

I'm thinking about putting one up for a shop and equipment storage but the regular Behlen curvet has some waste along the sidewalls.

This brand look's to be higher quality and a little straighter along the wall

Dad put up a Miracle Span quanset, in I think 1974. We used it as a shop, machine storage, and grain storage. Little brother bought the place, and still uses it for a shop. It served its purpose, but wasn't heatable in any way that I ever figured out.

Feed store in town has one they have the spray on insulation in that one and its warm in the winter.My brother was the mechanic there and he was allergic to cold so I know it must have been warm.

I have a 40X60 Marval Brute here. We put it p in 1975. It may have a little more wall space then the old Quonset. but does have some wasted space. It serves our purpose I guess. The Miracle Span was popular when we put this up too. Don't know why we chose this one. A steel building doesn't make a very good shop, They are just s shelter. If I was doing it again, I would put up a larger one, then build an insulated area inside for a shop.
