FAQs for Custom Airplane Hangars
Ultimate Protection: Pro Metal Buildings Airplane Hangars
Protecting your aircraft from UV damage, extreme weather, and debris is essential for maintaining its value and safety. At Pro Metal Buildings, we provide specialized steel airplane hangars engineered with the height and width necessary to accommodate everything from light sport aircraft to twin engine planes.
Why is steel the superior choice for an airplane hangar?
Steel is widely used for airplane hangars because it supports large clear-span designs with minimal or no interior columns, making it safer to move aircraft with wide wingspans and tall tails. Steel is also non-combustible, durable, and dimensionally stable, which helps large hangar doors stay aligned and operate smoothly over time.
What are the most common hangar sizes?
Hangar size depends on aircraft wingspan, tail height, and how much clearance you want for towing and maintenance. A common guideline is to allow about 5 feet of clearance around the aircraft.
| Aircraft Type | Typical Wingspan | Recommended Hangar Size |
| Single Engine (Cessna 172) | 36 Feet | 40 x 40 Feet |
| Twin Engine (Beechcraft Baron) | 38 Feet | 50 x 50 Feet |
| Light Jet / Turboprop | 45 to 55 Feet | 60 x 60 Feet |
Can I install specialized aviation doors?
Yes. Hangars can be designed to support specialized aviation doors such as bi-fold doors, hydraulic one-piece doors, and sliding/stacker door systems. Door choice affects framing, header strength, and side-column reinforcement, so it should be planned during the design phase.
How do I manage temperature and moisture in a hangar?
Moisture control and insulation help protect aircraft surfaces and avionics. Common solutions include vertical roof panels for efficient drainage, vapor barriers or anti-condensation liners to reduce dripping, and insulation systems to stabilize temperatures for storage and maintenance work.
What are the foundation requirements for an aircraft hangar?
A heavy-duty concrete slab is the standard foundation for aircraft hangars because it provides a level surface for aircraft movement and supports tugs and maintenance equipment. If using sliding door systems, the slab may also be designed to accommodate door track requirements. Slab design should match aircraft weight and intended operations.
