Steel Aircraft Hangars

SteelCo Buildings offers customizable pre-engineered steel aircraft hangars to suit the needs of any private aircraft owner. Picked up a Piper Cub or other vintage plane that you want to restore? A hangar will protect it, and you, from the elements. Bought a new or used turboprop or jet aircraft? The last thing you want is to leave such an expensive craft out in the open where unauthorized personnel can have access to it. Metal – in particular steel – has been the building component of choice for aircraft hangars for decades.

With no interior columns to limit movement, your steel aircraft hangar offers flexible layouts for diverse aviation needs—from private jets to commercial fleets—maximizing every square foot.
Icon

Accelerated Construction

Pre-engineered components allow our steel hangars to be erected significantly faster than traditional builds. This streamlined process reduces downtime and gets your facility operational sooner.
Icon

Quick ROI

By completing your hangar project in a fraction of the time, you begin operations earlier—providing a faster return on investment and reducing overall project costs.
Icon

Customizable Features

Our aircraft hangars offer a high degree of customization. Choose options like specialized hangar doors, integrated offices, insulation, and optimized floor plans that suit your aviation operations.
Icon

Tailored to Your Needs

Whether you require additional storage, maintenance bays, or custom lighting configurations, our flexible designs ensure that your metal aircraft hangar meets your unique operational requirements.
Icon

Low Maintenance Advantage

An attractive metal aircraft hangar not only enhances curb appeal but also supports marketing and branding efforts—projecting a high-quality image that aligns with your aviation operations.
01 Discovery & Quote (Week 1)

Begin with an initial project consultation to identify key needs and set clear goals. Our team will develop conceptual designs, prepare preliminary sketches, and provide you with a detailed quote so you know what to expect right from the start.

02 Design Sign-Off (Week 2)

After reviewing the initial designs, you’ll approve the final layout and contract. We’ll then coordinate the fabrication timeline and provide an estimated materials delivery date, ensuring everyone is aligned before proceeding to the next stage.

03 Engineering & Detailing (Weeks 3–5, 3–8, or 3–12)

Our engineers produce stamped permit drawings based on your project’s complexity:

  • Small Projects (Weeks 3–5): Approximately 2–3 weeks for stamped drawings.
  • Medium Projects (Weeks 3–8): Expect 4–6 weeks for simple self-storage buildings.
  • Large/Complex Projects (Weeks 3–12): More intricate designs (crane loads, mezzanines, complex rooflines, climate-controlled units) may take 8–10 weeks.
04 Initial Project Requirements & Site Preparation (Typically 4–8 Weeks)

With approved drawings in hand, your contractor handles permits, sitework, and foundation preparation. This pre-construction phase—securing necessary permits, performing site grading, and forming/pouring the foundation—usually spans 4–8 weeks, setting the stage for a smooth installation.

05 Delivery Preparation

We finalize production schedules and prepare your materials for shipment. Throughout this phase, we maintain open communication, ensuring that you, your contractor, and our team are coordinated for an efficient delivery and installation process.

06 Final Project Installation (Typically 1–3 Months)

Once materials are delivered, your contractor begins the metal building system (MBS) installation. Depending on complexity and site conditions, this can take 1–3 months, during which we remain focused on providing a quality, durable structure that meets your expectations.

07 Walkthrough & Completion

After installation, you’ll join your installer in a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything meets your specifications. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we’ll continue to offer support should you need any future assistance or modifications.

Material Choice

When it comes to choosing a metal aircraft hangar, you have two choices – steel or aluminum. Aluminum weighs less than steel – but that means it is more easily damaged.

 

Steel is less expensive than aluminum. Steel does rust, which aluminum doesn’t, but that’s why SteelCo uses galvanized steel with a protective coating of paint.

 

SteelCo offers customized hangar sizes and hangar designs. Hangars can be “free standing” – they’ll consist of four walls, a door system and a roof.

 

Hangars can be any width (we’ll give you a customized quote for anything over 200 feet wide) and any length. Hangars can be used for storing or working on aircraft, helicopters or for any type of aviation equipment.

Customized Hangar Designs

Door system

We also offer all the door systems possible for hangars, from bi-fold doors (which raise upward) to bottom rolling doors (which slide open to either side) to allow easy ingress and egress of planes; to walk through doors along the side to allow for easy ingress and egress of people.

 

Windows

Windows and skylights let in available light and can help improve the usability of the hangar.

 

Living/office quarters

If you’d like a hangar designed with an upstairs living quarters, or office, we can do that. Simply contact us and let us know your needs.

 

Sturdiness

The whole point of a hangar is to protect your aircraft from the elements. Our hangars are designed to withstand windstorms as well as heavy ice or snow on the roof.

Your local area will have its own building codes. Our pre-engineered aircraft hangars meet or exceed all business codes. We have the experience and we know what’s needed.

 

Insulation

Depending on your location, you may or may not want your steel aircraft hangar to be insulated. If you wish your hangar to be insulation-ready, we can comply.

 

Depending on the complexity of your hangar design, it can range anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks to prefab every piece of equipment to our exacting specifications – and yours. Once everything is ready, it’s drop-shipped right to you. We will dropship your pre-engineered aircraft hangar(s) anywhere in the continental United States.

Contractor Locator Help

At SteelCo, we not only manufacture our pre-engineered steel airplane hangars but also erect them, if our clients are in the Southeast. Outside that geographic region, we will be happy to assist you in finding a qualified contractor to erect the hangar (or hangars) for you. We have a database of qualified erectors and contractors.

 

Having said that, our pre-engineered steel aircraft hangars are manufactured in such a way that even skilled amateurs can put them together. However, since an aircraft hangar must meet a variety of codes it’s typically best for a professional contractor to do the job.

"...Everyone is quick to getting you a quote but not everyone treats you with the respect and professionalism that SteelCo has done. I chose SteelCo because it didn't feel like a "sales guy" calling me and making me rush into something...I made what felt like a thousand changes to my building...but they never sounded upset or made me feel like I was wasting their time..."

01

What sizes are commonly ordered for steel airplane hangars?

Steel airplane hangars can range from 10,000 square feet for small private planes to over 50,000 square feet for larger commercial aircraft. We can customize your hangar to accommodate specific aircraft sizes, storage needs, and additional features like office space or maintenance areas.

02

What door options are available for steel airplane hangars?

Common door options include hydraulic doors, bifold doors, and sliding doors. The choice depends on your operational needs, budget, and building size. Hydraulic and bifold doors are popular for their wide, unobstructed openings and ease of operation, while sliding doors offer cost-effective solutions for smaller hangars.

03

What makes steel a preferred choice for airplane hangars?

Steel hangars are highly durable, weather-resistant, and offer clear-span interiors—ideal for maximizing usable space and accommodating aircraft of various sizes. They are also faster to construct, more cost-effective, and easier to expand than traditional building methods, making them a practical choice for both private and commercial aviation needs.
