Quonset Hut Notes
-Wind typically comes from SSW direction
-Monkey Hut should be built perpendicular to the prevailing winds
-The only way to get decent candy-caned rebar is with a torch, in my experience. I also use smaller gauge rebar for the candy-caned part.
-Additionally, so as to minimize dust and wind as much as possible, I fasten the tarp down to the ground at every single gromment -- just as the tarp needs to be fastened to the ribs at every grommet with whatever you are using.
-highly recommend using 3' metal stakes instead of rebar -- don't bend, easier to pound in and get out, etc...
