Steel Aircraft Hangars
Steel hangars are the gold standard for aircraft storage—strong, durable, and engineered for wide clear-span interiors. From private airplane hangars and shade hangars to commercial and helicopter facilities, we design structures that deliver safe, generous door openings and efficient movement in and out of the bay. Steel’s reliability and low maintenance make it an ideal choice to protect your aircraft investment.
At Iowa 80 Builders, we lead your project from concept to completion. Our experienced team guides design, engineering, delivery, and erection, coordinating the details that keep your hangar project on track. Your building will be constructed to meet applicable safety standards and local code requirements for a dependable, long-lasting result.
Why Steel for Hangars
-
Massive clear spans: column-free interiors for wingspan clearance and safe taxi paths.
-
Rapid delivery & erection: prefabricated components shorten timelines and help control costs.
-
Scalable & adaptable: single-bay or multi-bay layouts, mezzanines, workshops, and storage rooms.
-
Low upkeep: corrosion-resistant finishes and rugged framing for long service life.
Hangar Door & Layout Options
-
Door systems: bi-fold, hydraulic one-piece, or sliding/stacking panels—sized to your aircraft.
-
Access & apron: high door clearances, personnel doors, vehicle bays, and apron/taxiway coordination.
-
Utilities & support: electrical rough-ins, compressed air drops, LED lighting, floor drains, and wash areas.
-
Environmental & comfort: insulation packages, ventilation, destrat fans, and daylighting panels.
-
Safety planning: egress, signage, equipment clearances, and provisions for fire-protection systems as required by code.
