WHAT AIRCRAFT HANGAR BUILDINGS ARE USED FOR
Steel Aircraft Hangar Buildings for Aviation Use
Steel aircraft hangar buildings are designed to safely store and maintain aircraft while providing excellent access, protection and operational flexibility. Their large clear spans and open layouts make them ideal for aviation environments where space and manoeuvrability are critical.
Common uses include:
-
Private aircraft storage hangars
-
Light aircraft and microlight hangars
-
Helicopter storage and maintenance buildings
-
General aviation facilities
-
Aircraft maintenance and servicing hangars
-
Mixed-use aviation storage buildings
Steel construction allows hangars to be designed without internal columns, ensuring unrestricted aircraft movement and efficient use of space.
WHY STEEL IS IDEAL FOR AIRCRAFT HANGAR BUILDINGS
Why Choose Steel for Aircraft Hangar Building
Steel construction is the preferred choice for aircraft hangar buildings due to its strength, flexibility and ability to achieve large clear spans. For aviation use, internal space, access and long-term structural performance are critical — and steel delivers on all three.
Aircraft hangar buildings constructed from steel offer the durability and engineering capability required to safely store and maintain aircraft in a wide range of environments, from private airstrips to operational airfields.
Key benefits of steel aircraft hangar buildings include:
-
Large clear spans with no internal columns obstructing aircraft movement
-
High eaves heights suitable for aircraft tails, rotors and lifting equipment
-
Excellent structural strength for long-term aviation use
-
Flexible layouts for storage, maintenance or mixed-use hangars
-
Durable, low-maintenance construction
-
Future-proof design, allowing extensions or reconfiguration if requirements change
Steel aircraft hangar buildings can be engineered to accommodate specific aircraft sizes, wing spans and access requirements, ensuring efficient use of space while maintaining safe clearance for maneuvering and storage.
Whether used for private aircraft storage or operational aviation facilities, steel hangar buildings provide a reliable, long-lasting solution designed to meet the practical demands of aviation environments.
CLEAR SPANS, DOOR SYSTEMS & ACCESS SOLUTIONS
Clear Span Design & Aircraft Hangar Access
One of the most critical elements of any aircraft hangar building is unrestricted access. Steel construction allows aircraft hangars to be designed with wide clear spans and specialist door systems, ensuring aircraft can be moved safely and efficiently without compromise.
Our steel aircraft hangar buildings are designed around aircraft size, wing span and operational requirements, allowing for smooth access between hangar and apron areas.
Large Clear Span Hangar Structures
Steel frames enable wide, unobstructed internal spaces without the need for internal columns.
This provides:
-
Full wing clearance
-
Safe aircraft maneuvering
-
Flexible internal layouts
-
Space for maintenance and ground equipment
Clear span design is particularly important for light aircraft, helicopters and mixed-use hangars where multiple aircraft types may be stored.
Hangar Door Systems
Aircraft hangar buildings can be supplied with a range of door solutions depending on access requirements, site conditions and aircraft size.
Common options include:
-
Sliding hangar doors for wide openings and simple operation
-
Bi-fold hangar doors offering vertical clearance and compact opening
-
Full-width access doors for efficient apron movement
-
Secondary personnel doors for day-to-day access
Each door system can be designed to suit the hangar opening size and frequency of use, ensuring reliability and ease of operation.
Apron & Operational Access
Aircraft hangar buildings are designed to integrate seamlessly with apron areas, allowing direct access for taxiing, towing and ground handling operations. Clear door openings, smooth floor transitions and practical layouts ensure the hangar supports efficient day-to-day aviation use.
Whether the hangar is used for storage, maintenance or mixed aviation operations, access and flow are carefully considered during the design stage.
Aircraft Hangar Buildings Across the South West
We design and supply steel aircraft hangar buildings across the South West, working with private aircraft owners, aviation operators and airfield facilities in a wide range of locations and environments. Each aircraft hangar building is engineered to suit aircraft size, access requirements and long-term operational use.
In Somerset, aircraft hangar buildings are commonly used at private airstrips and rural aviation sites, where clear spans, secure storage and reliable access are essential. Steel hangar construction provides the flexibility and durability required for both storage and light maintenance.
Across Dorset, steel aircraft hangar buildings are well suited to private aviation facilities and operational airfields, offering large clear openings and adaptable internal layouts designed around aircraft movement and apron access.
In Devon, aircraft hangar buildings benefit from steel construction’s strength and longevity, particularly in exposed or rural locations. Clear span hangars provide efficient aircraft storage while allowing space for maintenance equipment and ground operations.
Throughout Cornwall, steel aircraft hangar buildings offer a dependable, low-maintenance solution for aviation use in coastal and exposed environments. Steel construction ensures long-term performance while maintaining the flexibility required for evolving aviation needs.
Wherever your airstrip or aviation facility is located, our aircraft hangar buildings are designed to deliver secure storage, efficient access and long-term reliability.
