Hangarage
Good morning all,
I don't often ask questions on here, but wondered if anyone has had recent experience of replacing their aircraft hangar and could recommend a good company?
Thanks,
Chinchilla.

Dont go to a 'hangar builder', just use any old steel shed constructor - agricultural type, grain store, that kind of thing, but carefully select the right type of hangar doors to suit the intended use. Hangar doors and their support/construction is the most expensive bit. If it's to be heated, it will simply be clad with insulated panels that meet latest building regs. For heating, use Ambirad radient heating, gas fuelled. Stanchion support ring beam and the concrete floor/slab and final finish are big considerations in terms of spec, bearing strength. Can leave dust-free powerfloated finish on concrete or use a multitude of different coatings with huge cost variations. Don't paint floor until many many months after concrete has dried, cured, but if used before then, you'lhave to blast surface to remove any trace of deposits, oil, fule etc.
Doors the single biggest consideration and critical.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback, we have a few quotes coming in now and the project is starting to come together.
Yes, cooling MUCH more important than heating as the OAT is over 40c for most of the year and only down to the low teens in the "Winter"..........
Tom, yes it's for the new one which is slightly less titchy.
Oh and the current one is still bigger than when you first showed me yours lol ............
