Posted: Thu May 18, 2006 11:48 am Post subject: Hangar Question - More Info |
|
|
There is a common theme running in the answers here, so will add some
additional info for my case. I am building an attached shop about 32 X 50
with 12' ceiling and an auto lift. I have this exact shop at my current
home and it is perfect. I have storage around the top 5' or so and 4' out
from the walls everywhere except the lift bay. The hangar will house only
my airplane, maybe some overflow storage, and if room, our travel trailer.
Should fit nicely with the RV-6. My real concern was building it big enough
to be sellable as a hangar to someone with a typical certified plane.
Question is, what might that all include. I could go to extreme and size it
for a mid size twin; but is that really practical?
Does 42' with a 40' clear opening door provide enough for most airplanes?
Is 36' deep enough for most? I am sure I will go 12' clear height inside
and through the door. This is why I was kinda thinking of the T-hangar
sizes. Are they sized to accomodate most typical planes? Of course, my
hangar will be rectangle (not T) as I have no need to waste the corners and
build more corners.
Heating and cooling could be an issue as I am talking about East Texas. But
most of my work would be done in my shop unless it is work on the plane.
Any rate, that has given me lots of interesting and usefull information.
Thanks a bunch. I will make it big enough to push visiting RV's in with
mine and hopefully a typical certified will fit *If* I ever sell. I will be
on a lake with great fishing AND a runway. How cool is that?

You might want to consider Spray-On Insulation like this link displays.

Tim,

A "typical" commercially built T-hangar intended for factory built single
engine aircraft is on the order 35' deep with a clear door opening 42' wide
and 12' high. Some or all of the major metal hangar building companies
have charts listing the height, width and depth of a wide variety of
aircraft. Check their websites e.g. FullFab and Erect-a-Tube.

The spray-on cellulose stuff is wonderful in a well sealed, closed
building. Superb thermal and sound insulation. But for a hangar or shop
that has the potential to be open a lot & has the potential for water
entry, maybe not so good. If the roof leaks at all, big chunks fall off.
If any rodents find their way into the building, lots of little chunks
get pulled off. If birds get in the building, again lots of little
chunks come off. If you use it on the walls, varying size chunks come
off as you bump things into it.
Covering it with an interior wall/ceiling would solve the
bird/rodent/physical abuse issues, for significant added expense.
Covering it with hard walls/ceiling negates its really nice acoustic
properties (will still do a good job of blocking inside/outside transfer
of sounds).

This thread is getting me depressed. I just sold my airpark lot South of
Chicago. I had my dream hangar (and house) planned and then figured out it
was way too much money. Bummer.
You'll find quite a variety of doors when you get down to that. I chose hi
lift, http://www.hi-fold.com/ due to the extra height gained without having
to add extra framing. Wilson aluminum door is probably the best out there
but its big bucks.
Good luck.

Jeff, Sorry to hear you gave up on you dream hangar and house up near
Chicago. You should move down to southern IL and live the dream. Got the
house and hangar, now working on the plane.. RV7QB. I went with the
Hydroswing door. 54' X 16' door on a 60 X 50 hangar. It should hold a few
toys. If only they would build pure lines again STL RFD.
Come on down to 3K6 some weekend and show off your RV. We have great BBQ's
down here.
