Aircraft envelope
Use real wingspan, tail height, length, towing equipment, and maintenance clearance to establish the interior volume.
Commercial & community buildings
Clear-span protection designed around the aircraft.
Hangars require disciplined coordination among aircraft dimensions, door systems, clear height, structural framing, apron geometry, utilities, and airport requirements.

Built around the work
Aircraft Hangars
planned from the inside out.
Wingspan, tail height, propeller or rotor clearance, towing path, maintenance access, and the hangar door operating envelope define the core geometry. The door and structure must be engineered together rather than treated as separate purchases.
Private storage, corporate aviation, maintenance, and multi-aircraft uses bring different fire protection, ventilation, electrical, fuel, office, and security needs. Airport authorities, aviation consultants, engineers, and local officials should be involved early.
Every project is subject to site conditions, local approvals, engineering, selected systems, and a clearly defined scope. Product and accessory availability varies.
Planning priorities
Resolve the decisions
that shape daily use.
Strong building concepts answer the operational questions early—before structure, openings, and site work become expensive to change.
Door integration
Coordinate the selected hangar door, reactions, clearances, controls, and weather seals with the structural system.
Apron movement
Align door placement, pavement, drainage, and turning paths for safe towing and aircraft movement.
A coordinated metal building system
More than panels.
A complete structural package.
A custom pre-engineered metal building brings primary framing, secondary members, roof and wall panels, framed openings, trim, and selected accessories into one coordinated design. The final system is engineered for the building geometry, use, openings, and applicable local criteria.
Read the planning guide- 01Primary framing
Rigid frames, beams, and columns establish the main spans, height, roof form, and structural load path.
- 02Secondary framing
Purlins, girts, eave struts, endwall members, and bracing connect the frame and support the roof and wall systems.
- 03Roof and wall systems
Standing-seam, mechanically seamed, hidden-fastener, and exposed-fastener panel options may be considered based on application and availability.
- 04Openings and accessories
Overhead or roll-up doors, walk doors, windows, louvers, gutters, downspouts, closures, fasteners, sealants, vents, and insulation are coordinated by scope.
A clearer project path
Define the use
Share what must fit, how it moves, and what the building should make easier.
Verify the site
Review access, terrain, drainage, utilities, approvals, and future property plans.
Shape the system
Coordinate dimensions, bays, roof and wall assemblies, openings, accessories, and engineering inputs.
Prepare to build
Align drawings, foundation responsibilities, delivery, erection, inspections, and the remaining trades.

Common questions
Plan with
better information.
What information is needed to size an aircraft hangar?
Provide aircraft make and model, wingspan, tail height, overall length, towing method, desired maintenance clearances, door preference, number of aircraft, and future fleet plans.
Are hangar doors included automatically?
Door supply and scope vary. The opening and structural reactions must be coordinated with the selected door manufacturer and building engineer.
Can a hangar include offices or maintenance space?
Yes, subject to airport rules, occupancy, fire separation, ventilation, hazardous-material controls, accessibility, and local code.
