Efficient Aircraft Hangars for Your Needs

Depending on the requirements and level of customization needed, the lead time for non-stocked or bespoke aircraft hangar buildings can change. For precise lead time information based on your particular demands, it is preferable to contact our staff.

Our hangar buildings for aeroplanes are made to be simple and hassle-free to erect. We offer thorough installation instructions, and our customer support staff is ready to help if necessary.

Absolutely! We are aware that there are different sizes of aircraft, and our aim is to offer specialised solutions. To guarantee that your aircraft hangar construction properly suits the dimensions of your aircraft, you can ask for a custom size.

Yes, we provide the adaptability of customised specifications and custom designs for buildings housing aircraft hangars. Our staff may collaborate with you to design a building that reflects your vision if you have particular design specifications or distinctive elements you'd like to include.

Your location and local laws will determine if you need planning clearance for your aircraft hangar development. Small hangars for private use might not need planning clearance in some places, but larger hangars for business purposes might. It's critical to consult your local government and, if necessary, engage with them to acquire the proper licences.

Our standard size shutter door is 3.5m x 4m (W x H), however this can be changed as per the requirements of the customer.

We can supply any colour within the RAL colour chart. Typically for common colours, there is no additional charge.

Our buildings are designed to be installed directly onto an even concrete surface without the requirement for foundations. Installing onto soft or uneven ground will require foundations.

The depth of the concrete base required for a permanent building should sit at 200mm, whereas temporary buildings or PVC buildings do not require foundations but may be advised dependant on the size of the building, existing surface and purpose for use. If you would like to provide us with images of your site we will happily offer our advice on this.

We certainly do. We supply and install for many international and domestic customers. We have strategically located storage facilities in the UK, US, Canada & Germany so that we can service our customers well and supply our buildings quickly.

At Kit Buildings we supply three main types:

1. PVC Aircraft Hangars – steel frame with heavy-duty PVC cover, clear span interiors, sliding rail doors.
2. Steel Aircraft Hangars – RHS lattice frame with steel cladding for permanent, heavy-duty use.
3. 3. Insulated Aircraft Hangars – H-column beam steel frames with insulated sandwich panel cladding for superior temperature control.

For a single light aircraft (e.g. Cessna 172), you typically need at least 30–40 ft (9–12 m) width, 30–40 ft (9–12 m) depth, and 12–16 ft (3.6–4.8 m) height. Kit Buildings offers modular hangar kits starting at 30 × 46 × 16 ft, with larger sizes available.

A: It depends on use, budget, and climate:

1. PVC/Fabric: Cost-effective, fast installation, clear span.
2. Steel: Heavier duty, permanent, low maintenance.
3. Insulated Steel: For climate-sensitive storage or maintenance.
   
   Kit Buildings offers all three so you can choose the best fit for your airfield.

Planning and permit requirements can vary widely depending on your country, region, and the specifics of your site. We recommend checking with your local council or planning authority to confirm what approvals may be needed. Kit Buildings can provide technical drawings and specifications to support your application if required.

Absolutely. Our hangars can store ground vehicles, equipment, parts, or serve as workshops or logistics hubs. Kit Buildings can configure doors and layouts to suit multi-use requirements.

Depending on type, Kit Buildings’ hangar kits typically include:

Steel frame (galvanised or hot-galvanised)

1. Cladding: PVC cover, steel panels, or insulated panels
2. One large aircraft door – either a sliding rail door or a bi-fold door – depending on your requirements
3. Anchoring hardware (for concrete slab or footings)
4. Full assembly manual, technical drawings, and load data

Most of our Fabric kits can be erected in a few days rather than weeks with a small crew; larger steel or insulated hangars take longer. Kit Buildings supplies step-by-step instructions and installation support.

Yes. Kit Buildings designs custom widths, heights, and door openings for light aircraft, helicopters, or multiple planes.

Yes. Every kit includes a full assembly manual and anchoring guidelines. We also offer technical support and can connect you with our team or recommended installers.

Directly from Kit Buildings. We manufacture and ship PVC, steel, and insulated aircraft hangars across the UK and internationally.

A portable hangar is designed to be easily moved and reassembled elsewhere; a temporary hangar is installed for a fixed period but may not be as mobile. Kit Buildings’ PVC hangars can be semi-permanent or relocatable depending on anchoring.

Yes. With proper anchoring and routine maintenance, Kit Buildings’ PVC aircraft hangars can provide reliable long-term service. The PVC cover has an expected lifespan of around 15 years, while the galvanized steel frame lasts significantly longer. If you require an even longer-lasting structure, our steel and insulated aircraft hangars (using steel or insulated panel cladding) offer much greater durability and permanence, making them ideal for extended or permanent use.

Yes—when engineered for your site. Kit Buildings provides wind and snow load calculations and recommends a concrete slab or footings, drilled and fixed with heavy-duty anchors.

Yes. All hangar types — including temporary or portable models — require at least bolting into a concrete or hard-standing base to ensure stability and compliance with wind and snow loads. A full concrete slab or concrete footings is strongly recommended for long-term use. Kit Buildings provides anchoring specifications with every kit.

Components can be disassembled, stacked, and transported on pallets or in containers. Kit Buildings’ modular design makes relocation and storage straightforward.

Yes. Kit Buildings’ PVC hangars use galvanized steel frames with heavy-duty PVC covers that are waterproof, UV-resistant, and engineered to withstand local wind and snow loads.

Kit Buildings’ PVC covers last ~15 years with a 5-year warranty.

Yes. Properly anchored and ventilated, Kit Buildings’ fabric hangars keep aircraft dry and protected year-round.

PVC covers last around 15 years with a 5-year warranty; galvanized steel frames last decades with routine checks.

Yes. Kit Buildings can adjust door sizes, heights, and clear spans to accommodate rotorcraft, fixed-wing aircraft, or ground vehicles.

Costs vary by type and size:

1. PVC hangars are the most cost-effective and fastest to install.
2. Steel hangars cost more due to heavier construction and cladding.
3. Insulated steel hangars cost the most but provide superior climate control.Kit Buildings can provide itemized quotes for all three types.

Metal hangars (steel or insulated) are generally more expensive than PVC but offer greater permanence. Pricing depends on size, load requirements, and finish level.

Yes. Steel or insulated hangars typically cost more and take longer to install. Kit Buildings’ PVC hangars offer a cost-effective alternative while still meeting strength and compliance requirements.
