Nous n’avons pas pu trouver le terme "hutte quonset" dans une bonne source française; de plus, ce terme est très douteux car il ne s’agit pas ici d’une "hutte"; il vaudrait mieux dire : "bâtiment (du type) Quonset" (terme le plus général), "abri (du type) Quonset", "baraque (du type) Quonset", ou d’autres expressions, suivant le type de construction en cause. Une autre solution serait d’utiliser une expression descriptive comme "construction légère à toiture cintrée". Si c’est "Nissen hut" qu’il faut rendre en français, les mêmes solutions s’appliquent, en remplaçant le terme "Quonset" par "Nissen". 5, record 2, French, - hutte%20quonset
