I'd make it easy:
building=quonset_hut

it is a specific term for a specific thing, even has a wikipedia lemma in
several languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quonset_hut

If you tag it as shed made of steel, it doesn't tell you anything about
shape, size or construction specifics (prefabricated, etc.), so you
needlessly loose a lot of information.

you can also add all the other subtags additionally, if you like, like
building:material=steel etc.

Cheers,
Martin
