Do-It-Yourself Steel Aircraft Hangars

Build Your Own Metal Hangar and Save Big

The number one way to save money on steel aircraft hangars is to assemble it yourself!  And building your own plane or helicopter hangar is easy with a pre-engineered metal building kit.

Set Your Course for a Building Adventure

By nature, private pilots are confident and adventurous.

Pre-engineered steel buildings erect quickly.  Everything in a RHINO metal building hangar kit comes to your hangar site clearly marked and ready to assemble.

Actually, you will discover building a hangar is much like a giant erector set for grownups. It is just plain fun!  Call all your best buds and invite them over for building, bonding, and beer.  You’ll be surprised how quickly you will be ready to roll your plane or chopper into its beautiful new berth.

And just imagine the pride and bragging rights you will earn by building your own metal hangar!

Surrounding Your “Baby” with Steel Protection

Steel hangars provide the best protection possible for your first love: your aircraft.  No other building material matches the strength-to-weight ratio of steel.  Owners of steel aircraft hangars enjoy benefits like these:

  • Built-in strength against natural calamities like screeching winds, flashing lightning, devastating fires, and earthshaking tremors.
  • As an organic material, steel hangars resist the aging, rot, mold, and termite problems prevalent with wood hangars.
  • In addition, unlike web-truss structures, pre-engineered metal hangers do not invite birds in to “fowl” your spotless flying machines.

As a pilot, you want to spend as much time in the air as possible.  Consequently, any time on the ground should be spent maintaining your aircraft— not your hangar.  Fortunately, steel aircraft hangars require very little care, yet still maintain their good looks and value decade after decade.
