Frequently asked questions
What hangar size is needed for a private aircraft?
A single-engine aircraft (±36 ft span) fits a 42 × 40 ft hangar with a 40 ft clear opening. For a twin or turboprop, target 60 × 60 ft to 80 × 80 ft, clear height 18 to 24 ft. Allow 4 to 6 ft of clearance each side.
Which hangar door type should be chosen in Quebec?
Three families: bifold (fast, well sealed), hydraulic one-piece (maximum clearance) and sliding on a track (economical, track must be snow-cleared). In Quebec, bifold and hydraulic doors avoid ground-level ice jams.
Should an aircraft hangar be insulated and heated?
Simple storage: R-20 roof with a vapour barrier to prevent condensation on airframes and avionics. Maintenance hangar: R-25 to R-30 walls, R-40 roof, with gas radiant tubes.
What is included in the aircraft hangar building package?
Metbec supplies the complete steel structure: clear-span rigid frames, purlins, cladding, hardware, reinforced door headers and OIQ engineer-stamped plans. Slab, erection, powered door, electrical and apron work are handled by your own contractor.
