Airplane Hangar Building FAQs
Is post-frame a good option for hangars or maintenance buildings?
Yes. Post-frame delivers wide clear spans for unobstructed wings and tail, and it pairs cleanly with bi-fold or hydraulic hangar doors sized to your aircraft and apron. A post-frame airplane hangar protects maneuvering space for fast and easy turns.
Can a post-frame structure meet local building codes and height or obstruction standards?
Yes. We design to code for proposed construction near public-use airports, then align heights and setbacks to protect approach and departure surfaces. Local authorities hold zoning power, so we plan with them from day one.
How much does a post-frame airplane hangar cost?
As a custom post-frame builder, Meyer Building specializes in designing each project to your needs without “standard” prices associated with a “standard” building. Post-frame buildings can often range from $35 to $50 per square foot, with additional costs for insulation and other customizations. Final pricing depends on unique factors such as building size, insulation solutions, necessary sitework, personal preferences for finishes, and the building’s utility needs.
How wide can you build a post-frame airplane hangar’s door?
As wide as your aircraft requires. Most hangars’ hydraulic or electric bifold doors measure between 32 and 50 feet wide. We’ll map a unique layout for an opening large enough to support easy taxi access for your airplane.
Can we integrate office, restroom, or pilot-lounge space inside the same structure?
Absolutely. We can place offices and lounges, add restrooms and storage, and keep the hangar bay clear and wide for mixed-use needs. Many hangars pair large doors with conditioned support spaces inside the same envelope, giving you adaptable areas within a custom and comfortable structure.
Can I expand my airplane hangar building later?
Yes. If the foundation and truss designs support it, future expansion can add more hangar square footage and custom, specialized-use space to support your evolving needs. Planning for potential expansion during the initial design and build process helps save on lifetime ownership expenses.
How flexible is the layout for future tenants or municipal uses?
We start with a clear-span bay and keep utilities and partitions modular. Our approach allows new door sizes, additional aircraft positions, or reconfigurable zones as needs change. We build to your defined purpose while sizing doors and clear spans accordingly for current uses and future possibilities.
What’s the design-to-completion timeline for a project of this scale?
A single-aircraft hangar can come together in as little as a handful of months, but scheduling and timelines for airplane hangar projects often fluctuate and depend on factors such as permitting speed, necessary sitework, and lead times for custom hangar doors. Meyer Building sequences tasks to keep crews working and progress moving while fabricators customize the specialty hangar doors.
