I'm looking for a company that will fabricate a simple steel hanger for my glider and Firestar.  It needs to be 6.5 feet high at the walls and about 30 x 60 feet with a slightly pitched roof, and swing out double doors from the 30 foot dimension.  



My airport is now allowing shelters over tiedowns.  The shelter (we don't call it a hanger) must be able to be disassembled and moved within a week to qualify.



The glider will go on a dolly and go in sideways through the 30 foot opening, and the Firestar will be backed in with the wings over top of the glider wings.



I know a lot of people on the list have put these buildings together, and sure will appreciate any information regarding companies who make them and tips regarding assembly.

Dave, why steel?  Around here horse stable owners have been erecting  

huge fabric covered barns

large enough for a riding arena.  My neighbor has one.  First time I  

drove past at night they had the lights on

and it looked like a UFO had landed.  The weather around here is  

certainly more challenging than

most places.

Dave, I had one of the "Carports of America" steel buildings put up two years ago. It has no foundation, it's "nailed" to the Kansas clay with two foot long spikes. I had the sides extended down to the ground, but left the ends open. Ends are available in several configurations including a lockable door. The whole thing went up in less than an afternoon with three assemblers. So far it has withstood 70+ mph winds the last couple of winters and none of the overlap joints of the siding (and roof) leak. Creaks a bit in high winds, but that's about it.
