Choosing the right aircraft hangar shed is crucial for your aircraft's safety, maintenance, and longevity. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting the best hangar shed.

Location and Space

The hangar should be conveniently located near your operational area to minimise transit time. When deciding on the space and size of your hangar, consider any future acquisitions or additions. Adequate space also ensures easy movement and prevents accidental damage. We build architecturally designed sheds and can assist with any shed perfect for our customer’s unique purpose.

Structural Integrity

The structural integrity of the hangar is paramount. The materials should be robust and weather-resistant to protect your aircraft from New Zealand weather conditions. The design should also include proper insulation to maintain a stable internal temperature and protect sensitive aircraft components. We work with trusted suppliers who offer strong materials, comprehensive advice on how to use them best, and warranties.  

Security Features

Security is another critical aspect. Ensure the hangar has reliable security systems such as CCTV cameras, alarm systems, and secure locking mechanisms. These features are essential to prevent unauthorised access and protect your valuable assets. We can suggest suitable suppliers for this who can provide like-for-like quotes. 

Door Type and Size

The door should be wide and tall enough to easily accommodate your aircraft's dimensions. Common door types include sliding doors, bi-fold doors, and hydraulic doors. Each type has its advantages, so choose one that best fits your operational needs and budget.

Ventilation and Lighting

Proper ventilation is essential to prevent the buildup of fumes and maintain air quality inside the hangar. Natural and artificial lighting should be adequate to ensure safety and ease of maintenance. Skylights and LED lighting systems are excellent options for energy efficiency and visibility.

Think Long-Term

Choose quality over price. While it might be tempting to opt for a cheaper option, investing in a hangar made with high-quality materials and built by experts like The Shed Specialists Co. team will save you money in the long run through reduced maintenance costs and enhanced aircraft protection. Customisation options, such as built-in offices or workshops, can add value and convenience to your hangar.
