60X80X18 Aircraft Hangar Kit – Aviation Metal Building

Product Overview

The 60×80×18 Aircraft Hangar Kit delivers increased interior width and depth to support larger enclosed aircraft storage layouts. This prefabricated steel building kit is supplied as physical components that assemble into a clear-span enclosure, allowing aircraft and related equipment to be positioned without interior columns or obstructions.

Best for: Owners requiring expanded aircraft storage capacity or additional interior clearance beyond compact single-aircraft hangar layouts.

All items supplied are tangible components delivered as part of the steel building kit.

 

Quick Answers

• Product type: Physical prefabricated steel building kit
• Shipping method: Freight delivery
• Installation included: No
• Drawings included: Yes (printed documentation for permitting/reference)
• Best for: Larger clear-span aircraft storage enclosures

 

Structural Components & Materials

This kit includes a clear-span rigid steel I-beam framing system manufactured using CSA A660 certified structural steel components. Fabrication is completed under CWB certification to CSA W47.1. The enclosure system incorporates 26-gauge Canadian-made corrugated steel wall and roof panels, along with trim, fasteners, connection plates, clips, angles, bracing, downspouts, and elbows compatible with the framing system.

Printed structural and foundation drawings are included as part of the physical kit documentation for general permitting and reference purposes. These documents provide standard informational reference commonly associated with this product type.

 

Size-Specific Clearance Advantage

The 60-foot clear-span width provides increased lateral space for aircraft positioning and clearance around wings and support equipment. The 80-foot building depth supports nose-to-tail aircraft placement, additional storage zones, or separation between aircraft and equipment areas. The 18-foot wall height maintains practical vertical clearance for a broader range of aircraft profiles.

Compared to smaller hangar configurations, this size introduces greater interior flexibility and storage capacity.

 

How This Hangar Size Fits Into a Complete Hangar Lineup

The 60×80 configuration occupies the mid-range segment within a complete aircraft hangar lineup. It is commonly selected when a single-aircraft hangar no longer provides sufficient clearance or when additional interior space is required for equipment storage.

Compared to a 50×60 aircraft hangar, the 60×80 configuration prioritizes increased interior capacity over compact footprint efficiency.

For projects requiring multiple aircraft storage or expanded layouts, larger hangar configurations such as 80×100 or 100×100 may be evaluated.

 

Why Choose 60×80 Over Other Hangar Sizes

• Increased width for improved aircraft clearance
• Extended depth for larger storage layouts
• Clear-span interior supports flexible positioning
• Suitable for single or expanded aircraft storage

 

When Not to Choose This Size

This size may not be suitable where a minimal site footprint or compact enclosure volume is required. Buyers prioritizing smaller-scale storage may benefit from more compact hangar configurations.

 

Design Trade-Offs and Layout Priorities

This configuration prioritizes interior capacity and layout flexibility over compact enclosure efficiency. Layouts support expanded aircraft spacing and equipment storage rather than tightly constrained single-aircraft placement.

 

Design Consideration Note

This size is commonly selected in projects where additional aircraft clearance and interior flexibility are prioritized over minimal footprint requirements.

Canadian Performance Summary

This hangar configuration provides an expanded clear-span enclosed footprint suitable for Canadian climate conditions while supporting increased aircraft storage capacity. The additional width and depth enable flexible interior layouts without transitioning into large multi-aircraft hangar scales.
This size is frequently selected where increased clearance and interior flexibility are prioritized over compact enclosure efficiency.
