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.

No Soup for you !..:ugh:

Reid & Sons - 01202 483333

Had some designs done recently, but not progressed to build yet.

Thanks Phil :ok:

Sent you a PM.

These guys are also a good option Jade Aden Structural Steel and Industrial Cladding Specialists Have used them in the past and they did a fair job at reasonable price.

We have Jet Hangarage availabilty if you need space, short, medium, long term. PM for further details if needed.

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.

I think cooling is more important than heating for this particular hangar :}

Wickes do a fabulous range of sheds it should fit in nicely..

Or is this for the new one?

Oooh Tom, you bitch! :D

Anyway, its not the size, its what you do with it that counts, isn't that right Chinchilla?

yeah but phils is really titchy. Have you seen it?

Thankfully no, I've never seen it in the flesh, so to speak......only seen the photo's and video's on the internet...... :O

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 ............

Ah, although Tom's may be bigger, it's much older.....needs a lot more attention than our younger ones to get it up and keep it up ;)

If we are going to compare size can I wade into this debate phil?!

:ok:

Since you're flying the biggest one out there, I'm thinking you should be excluded from this one actually nope ;)

mines so big I hardly ever get it up...

Sorry Tom, but Iain's makes even yours look like a toy..........
