-40!!! Move.

Interested in methods that others are using for working during winters
in metal quonsets that don't have permanent insulation. I'm toying
with the ideas of building a small, 8 ft high insulated "room" in one
corner of the quonset or perhaps erecting a temporary canvas/poly
enclosure (think temporary vehicle shelters with piping frame).

Winter here means periods of -40, dry. The quonset is all-metal,
corrugated, 40 ft x 60 ft x 20 ft max height with enclosed ends.

Does not answer your question, but I found this interesting.

I'd partition off a section as you describe. I'd make it out of panels of
insulating foam. Light and easy to move, you can change the design easily
if you desire.
