Building an aircraft hangar is an important project. Finding the best materials and design is essential. Most airports and aircraft owners throughout the country construct their hangars out of metal. These remarkable hangars can be pre-fabricated by the supplier, making the cost cheaper and the construction time faster than wooden-framed buildings--saving you both time and money. Here are just some of the many benefits you can expect from a quality-made metal hangar.

A steel-framed hangar can be custom-built to fit any size aircraft and give you the benefit of a column-free interior for wide-open floor space. This is ideal for accommodating not only most wing-spans and tail-heights, but also gives you unobstructed room for aircraft maintenance and storage. You can also have the option of a wide-range of door sizes and types (including bi-fold, bi-parting, and stacking) as well as a variety of eave heights.

Having your project meet local building codes should be no problem and a steel design can be engineered to withstand most weather conditions of your area as the material is able to withstand fire, wind, and rain; and is unaffected by mold, mildew, and termites. This gives you life-time of low maintenance.

You also have the benefit of combining the metal building system with conventional exterior materials such as brick, stone, pre-cast concrete or glass presenting you with a structure that is aesthetically appealing. Just because the internal structure is made of steel does not mean your hangar has to look like a giant metal breadbox! 

Should you ever decide to add additional aircraft to your fleet, steel-constructed hangars are easily expandable to accommodate additional aircraft. The finished product is one that will give you a lifetime of functional use without buyers regret because YOU can decide how you want it to look.

Whether you fly a Cessna, a Boeing 747 or a Hughes, your aircraft is a significant investment that deserves the best protection and security that a steel hangar can provide.
