I looked at tent hangers about three years ago but rejected the concept.
Although local farmers and some industrial companies are using them, I think
there are some serious problems.

First there is no security to either the planes or tools stored in the
hanger, secure doors are difficult and last I found I could build a T hanger
cheaper than I could buy a tent hanger. Depending on climate, the fabric
doesn't last all that long.

Only big advantage is the ability to move it if you need to change airports.

Bob, Wichita

I don't have much confidence in the security (from theft) of most hangars.

I recently had an attempted break in on my steel framed/sheet metal
hangar. Its your pretty typical construction. The perps just smashed my
the door knob on my man door off. They hit me an one other hangar in my
row. Probably because we were the only ones who didn't have a dead bolt.
Fortunately, they didn't get in and I have since added a dead bolt.

But in reviewing my hangar, I realized that with a nut driver, I could
easily (in 5 minutes or less) pull enough siding off of it to get in.
