Aircraft Hangers

Do you need an aircraft hangar for a helicopter, a corporate jet or a 747-400 freighter? Whether you’re building private aircraft storage on your farm or a line-maintenance hangar at a major airport, choosing the right building system and construction partner is essential. But who to trust for such an important project?

Specialists in large single-span structures for aircraft hangar construction
Spatial Structures specialises in traditional and Design & Build contracts with steel portal-frame structures and lightweight tensile membrane systems. Unlike contractors offering just one construction approach, we offer a convenient one-stop source for both. Added to our range of support services this means we’re fully equipped to meet your requirements.

One stop for the perfect aircraft hangar
Traditionally, hangar construction often used steel-clad portal-frame construction. Large unsupported spans were possible; buildings could incorporate door outriggers and cranes and were easily customised with offices and storage. Increasingly, however, aircraft operators are embracing the many benefits of steel frame and tensile-roof hangars. The advantages of such aircraft hangar design include these:


• Pre-fabricated components, simple foundations and fast construction often make tensile-fabric hangars more affordable from the start. Low maintenance means whole-life costs are low too. These structures are easy to relocate and they’re perfect where temporary aircraft hangars are needed.

• Fabric-membrane aircraft hangars combine a durable structural frame with the design flexibility of advanced architectural fabrics. This is perfect where hangars must combine appearance with operational efficiency. And because we offer portal-frame construction, you can combine both technologies.

• Clear-span aircraft hangar construction allows maximum use of space. Spans from 10 m to 100 m make aircraft movements easy.

• Translucent membrane roofs let natural light into aircraft hangars for better working environments and lower running costs.

Your next step?
Whatever your requirements, we’ll work with your consultants or look after your whole project – from site selection to final handover.
