5 FAQs about aircraft hangars
1. What types of hangars do we supply?
We provide innovative tensile structures for a wide range of applications, including aircraft hangarage. Both small and large portal frame steel-clad buildings are available at affordable costs, with different financing options available.
2. Do you need planning permission for aircraft hangar buildings?
Planning permission may be required for your aircraft hangar project and it is advisable to check with your local authority. Typically, consent will be required if:
- The hangar is more than 4m high (with a pitched roof)
- The application site is in a conservation area, next to a listed building or in a national park
3. What are the benefits of aircraft hangarage?
Installing aircraft hangar buildings protects aircraft and equipment from weather, corrosion and UV rays, as well as providing additional security against theft and vandalism. These structures can also be used as additional office space, for pilot training and as a storage facility.
4. What are the different types of aircraft hangar?
There are various types of structure you can go for, depending on budget and need. Shade hangars and T-hangars, for example, are the cheapest and will protect your aircraft from the elements.
Storage hangars are bigger and will provide you with more space for storage of parts and materials, while maintenance hangars are the most expensive as they’re the biggest, allowing for manoeuvring of the aircraft inside the structure.
5. How easy to maintain are aircraft hangars?
Because steel is more durable than other materials, steel-manufactured aircraft hangars are lower maintenance than other structures made using different methods.
Carry out regular inspections, focusing on structural joints and checking for rust, corrosion and other signs of damage. Regular cleaning and keeping the structure free from condensation will also help extend its lifespan.
